Jean-Michel Oughourlian is professor of clinical psychopathology at the University of Paris and chief of psychiatry at the American Hospital in Paris. For over the last 30 years Oughourlian has worked in close collaboration with René Girard in their development of the mimetic theory of psychological mimesis and interdividual psychology. He was one of the primary collaborators with Girard on the book Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (Stanford University Press, 1987), and has also written The Puppet of Desire: The Psychology of Hysteria, Possession, and Hypnosis (Stanford University Press, 1991), an application of mimetic theory into a fully developed psychological methodology.
