Handwriting Analysis
Every written sample displays the same wonderful variety as the Faces, finger-
prints, voices and bodies of us all. We recognize our friends’ voices on the phone,
and by the tone alone know their state of happiness or sadness, anger or warmth.
Handwriting is a reflection of mood changes, characterizing the writer’s state of
mind at that moment. Graphology dynamically enlarges its scope in combination with insights from
other projective techniques. It is now widely applied as an additional diagnostic tool
by psychologists and psychiatrists who have found it as helpful as the famed Rorschach inkblot test. The structural ambiguity of the Rorschach inkblots allows a
wide variety of interpretation for both patient and psychologist. This is also the case
with handwriting when writers unconsciously choose the movements and formations characteristic of their state of mind at that time, and the graphologists draw
conclusions on the basis of their training. It is due to a few
particularly visionary academicians that graphology has gained its admittedly
tenuous footholds in its climb toward deserved respect within the American college
and university systems. Interesting to note is the fact that graphology has been part of the accredited curriculum in the psychology departments of universities in
France, Germany and Switzerland since the end of the 19th century. Toward the hope that you the reader will discover an unexplored area within
yourself and come to a closer understanding of yourself and others, we inscribe
this book.
