Anna Veronica Mautner (1935 – January 30, 2019) was a Brazilian psychoanalyst, writer and a professor at the University of São Paulo.

Life

Mautner was born in 1935 in Pest County in Hungary, moving to Brazil at the age of three. Her mother, Rosa, was a feminist and Jewish communist who arrived in Brazil as war was declared in 1939.{{Cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2019/01/mortes-mulher-moderna-formou-geracoes-de-terapeutas.shtml|title=anna veronica mautner (1935 - 2019) - Mortes: Mulher moderna, formou gerações de terapeutas|date=2019-01-30|website=Folha de S.Paulo|language=pt-BR|access-date=2020-01-20}} She was brought up in Lapa where her family ran a hairdressing business.

Mautner was a Zionist and feminist. She became a professor of social psychology at University of São Paulo (USP) which is where she had studied social science. She did not become a psychoanalyst until the 1980s but she was to have a long career. She was an associate member of the Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise de São Paulo.

In 2000 she became a columnist for the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. She wrote a point of view for Psicologia where she discussed how recognition of people's skills is a powerful driver for achievement. She noted that not everyone desires this as she said that there is not enough for everyone at the top of a pyramid. A shape that allows this is not a pyramid but a cobblestone.[http://www.scielo.br/pdf/pusp/v15n3/24614.pdf Point of View, Psicologia USP, 2004, 15(3), 245-247]

In the last year of her life, Regina Favre, arranged for the publication of her last book which was an anthology of her work explaining her success.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VClTDwAAQBAJ&q=anna+veronica+mautner|title=Fragmentos de uma vida|last=Mautner|first=Anna Veronica|date=2018-04-09|publisher=Editora Agora|isbn=978-85-7183-214-5|language=pt-BR}} Mautner died in São Paulo in 2019 of multiple organ failure.

Private life

Mautner had three children and, at the time of her death, five grandchildren.
