Biography
Valeria Céspedes Musso is an analyst in training at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich, Küsnacht and an independent researcher and lives in Frankfurt, Germany.
"Some phenomena are so extraordinary that it can be difficult to know how to approach them in a balanced yet illuminating way — and the mass visions of the Virgin Mary at Zeitoun, witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people over a period of about eighteen months, certainly come into that category. In this book, Musso takes on such a challenge, skilfully grounding her Jungian hermeneutic in a deeply informed and conscientious engagement with political, economic, and cultural realities. Almost as extraordinary as her subject matter itself are the courage, creativity, open-mindedness, and rigorous, level-headed scholarship with which she navigates it. An impressive achievement."
Professor Roderick Main, University of Essex, UK.
