Education

Haaken began her career studying nursing at Everett Community College,[5] where she finished with an associate degree in 1969. Haaken first worked as a psychiatric nurse in a children's clinic at the University of Washington Medical Center between 1969 and 1973 before re-enrolling at the University of Washington to continue her studies,[1] graduating with a degree in psychology in 1974.[2] Haaken continued her studies at the Wright Institute in Los Angeles, graduating with a Ph.D. in 1979.

Thought

Informed by both psychoanalysis and feminism, Haaken's scholarship has focused on range of topics including the symbolic and political significance of recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse,[6] storytelling and domestic violence,[7] to psychological trauma.[4]

Work

Community activism

In 1993, Haaken collaborated with fellow scholar and activist Johanna Brenner in establishing In Other Words, a feminist community center and bookstore in Portland, OR's Killingsworth neighborhood.[5][8]

Filmmaking

Haaken's work as a documentary filmmaker tends to focus on people who perform stressful jobs,[9] as well as marginalized members of American society.[5][10]

Guilty Except for Insanity: Maddening Journeys Through an Asylum explores the interconnection between the American criminal justice and mental healthcare systems by following the lives of employees as well as patients at the Oregon State Hospital who were admitted on the basis of a plea of criminal insanity.[11][12]
