Left-handedness has been shown to be a possible marker for various
psychological and physical abnormalities. This book presents
evidence by a number of researchers who evaluate whether there are
indeed differences between left- and right-handers which extend
into the broader psychological and physiological realms. Several
chapters show that left-handedness is found in unexpectedly high
proportions in populations that suffer from various immune
deficiency diseases, in alcoholics, dyslexics, mental retardates,
psychopaths and other clinical groups. The book indicates why
left-handedness should be a marker for such conditions. The genetic
and environmental pressures on handedness are explored. A model for
pathological left-handedness is presented, along with some
interesting data which suggests that left-handedness may be
associated with reduced life-span. Finally, several chapters
discuss the implications of handedness patterns in non-clinical
populations.
