Possession

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

You may also be looking for the Pocket TNG novel Possession.

Possession is someone or something having control over the body of another. While is normally has a negative connotation, not all possessions have to be. While some Trill symbionts completely control the host body, most do not, and the Trill rite of zhian'tara allows for the past lives of the symbiont to possess a volunteer regardless of species. (TNG: "The Host", DS9: "Facets")

Some Trill completely take over the host body, a full possession unlike the "blending" seen in other Trill. (TNG: "The Host") The rite of zhian'tara overseen by a Guardian allows for the past lives of the symbiont to possess a volunteer host for a short time. (DS9: "Facets") The Rite of Emergence allows a host to bring forth the personality and memories of a previous host, so the two personalities can interact. (DS9: "Field of Fire")
