Jane Haynes originally worked as an actress at the Royal Court Theatre. After she met R.D. Laing and read his book The Divided Self she gave up the theatre and became involved with Laing's work at Kinglsey Hall and later trained as a Jungian psychoanalyst.

In the course of clinical practice - over time - Haynes has moved away from the theoretical position of a classical psychoanalyst to that of a psychotherapist who considers that it is the combination of dialogue - within an ethical therapeutic relationship - and a trained ear that are the essential ingredients of 'The Talking Cure'.
