Dr. Maud Mannoni and her husband, the philosopher, ethnologue and psychoanalyst Octave Mannoni, were outstanding mentors of many generations of intellectuals working in Psychoanalysis and related fields of knowledge.
Like Jorge Luis Borges, Maud Mannoni was a widely learned autodidact who, thanks to her significant clinical achievements and intellectual contributions, won the recognition and friendship of eminent personalities; figures from all latitudes of the planet and from very different theoretical positions such as: Julia Kristeva, Donald Winnicott, Ronald D. Laing, Françoise Dolto, Jacques Lacan, Solange Faladé, Philip Sollers, Elizabeth Roudinesco, Armando Verdiglione, Charles Melman, Roger Ph. Gentis, Franco Basaglia, or David Cooper, ... to name but a few.
Every contemporary who took the chance to frequent Mannoni has benefited from her insightful clinical approach, witty kindness and ethical committment.
As an exemplary citizen of the world, she will remember as an extraordinary human being, a great pedagogue and genial clinician able to treating the most difficult mental illness.
Maud Mannoni was the founder of the international renown Experimental School of Bonneuil, near Paris, dedicated to research and treatment on autism and psychoses of children.
She was also the founder of 'The International Center for Psychoanalytical Research and Education'; and later of 'Espace analytique' with headquarters in Paris and branches in many countries.
She is also author of several books and was the founding director of The Analytical Space (L' Espace Analytique) collection at Denoël publishing.

The Mae Tao Clinic (MTC), founded and directed by Dr. Cynthia Maung, provides free health care for refugees, migrant workers, and other individuals who cross the border from Burma to Thailand. People of all ethnicities and religions are welcome at the Clinic. Its origins go back to the student pro-democracy movement in Burma in 1988 and the brutal repression by the Burmese regime of that movement.
