Abstract
So begins Possessions, a mystery novel from French poststructuralist philosopher and psychoanalyst, Julia Kristeva. A novel, this novel, is “autobiographical” (Kristeva, 1996a, p. 270), not only because elements connect to her own life story, but also because the form facilitates the therapeutic relationship.
