The method and permanence is irrelevant.

Some possible methods:
- Psychic mind control
- Demonic/spiritual possession
- Brainwashing (through conditioning, through use of a brainchip/bug, and others)
- Hypnotic suggestion

For more personal cases of mind control, see possession.

The demonic possession applies for this only in some fringe cases (because it's most often permanent/irreversible without killing the host), please consider tagging such cases with something more appropriate.
