Grahame Hayes (born 4 June 1951) is a registered clinical psychologist based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.[1] He is known for his contribution to the fields of psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, critical social psychology, and African psychology.[2][3] Upon graduating form the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the mid 1980’s, Hayes conducted a private psychotherapy practice alongside his tenure as a university academic until 2011, where he retired from his position as Professor of Psychology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.[1][4] He was also a member of the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) executive in the mid-1970s, forming part of the force for liberalism and radicalism in anti-apartheid political movements.[5][6]

Hayes played a large role in the development and sustainment of the community of critical psychology in South Africa during the 1980’s, which can be attributed to his mental health activism throughout the apartheid era.[7] His published works in the fields of psychoanalysis and Marxism demonstrated an elaborate advocacy for a critical approach to the discipline of psychology from both a clinical and social perspective.[3][7] Hayes’ teaching and writing, specifically pertaining to the reconfiguration of post-apartheid psychoanalytic social theory, expanded the scholarly literature in Southern Africa by highlighting the need for alternative perspectives towards social and political psychology.[7] Furthermore, his contribution to the psychology community, especially in South Africa, is emphasised by his work in the schools of post-colonial theory, de-colonisation, identity formation, and African psychology.[3][7][8][9][10]

In 1983, Hayes became the founding editor of the well-established Psychology in Society (PINS) journal, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023.[8][4] He fulfilled his duties as chief editor for over 30 years before taking up a secondary position as an associate editor in support of the introduction of Ronelle Carolissen, who took over from Hayes as chief editor of PINS in 2017.[11] It was during this time as editor that Hayes contributed to multiple editions of the journal by publishing biographies of influential figures within the South African psychology and activist community, such as Chabani Manganyi and Robert Sobukwe.[9][10] These publications showcase Hayes' willingness to broaden the scope of knowledge within the community of critical psychology in South Africa by emphasising the importance of certain figures and their respective contributions in the context of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa. Although retiring from this role as chief editor of PINS, Hayes remains an active practitioner and member of the South African psychology community through his work as a psychotherapist in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal, where he specialises in anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship counselling, and addiction management, with over 40 years of experience in the application of psychoanalytic therapy. [12][13] In addition to conducting his private practice, Hayes Therapy, he facilitates workshops and supervises others in his field of expertise, thereby expanding the knowledge of those that form part of the South African psychology community.[1][8]
