Valeria Céspedes Musso – författare

Marian Apparitions in Cultural Contexts provides an analysis of collective phenomena, specifically mass visions of the Virgin Mary, from a psychoanalytical perspective. It draws from Jung’s compensation theoretical model with the aim of merging depth-psychology and historical material from the Zeitoun case. Offering an original interpretation of this phenomenon from a Jungian psychological perspective, the book provides stimulating insights to any person interested in these supernatural events, whether general readers with active curiosity or scholars with broad intellectual interests.A review of the literature points to a prevailing socio-political approach to examining visions of the Virgin Mary, while a psychoanalytical approach is generally lacking. Musso draws from Jung’s compensation theoretical model in Flying Saucers with the aim of merging depth-psychology and historical material. Common themes and symbols are extracted and interpreted from the empirical material and analyzed along with Egyptian social and political data. The book concludes with a discussion on how depth psychological principles grounded in empirical and historical material could be applied in order to explicate cases of mass visions.An original interdisciplinary exploration of cultural phenomena, Marian Apparitions in Cultural Contexts will be of value to academics and students in the fields of psychoanalysis, analytical psychology, political science, and religious studies. This book will also be of interest among Jungian scholars and practitioners in applications of depth psychology to cultural phenomena.

This comprehensive collection of chapters concentrates on the multifaceted theme of emotions, and deepens our understanding of the role emotions play within the psyche.Leading international psychoanalysts and academics offer broad interdisciplinary dimensions using their own unique perspectives on the topic of emotions. Delineating into five parts, this volume focuses on key themes such as emotions, imagination, and method; the emotional basis of archetypes and complexes; relational trauma; mapping contagion across cultures; the contribution from neuroscience; and, finally, dreams and the transcendent. Clinical cases presented underline the important role unconscious, disassociated emotions play in the formation of symptomatology and how wholeness is facilitated through their acceptance.This collection offers a timely contribution to the interdisciplinary study of emotions placing Jungian psychology firmly within that framework. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, trainees, and psychotherapists, as well as interdisciplinary academic researchers interested in methodology, unconscious processes, transference, and dreams.
