Now in paperback for the first time, this unique guide to graphology demonstrates, using more than 250 samples, how one's handwriting can be used to identify both physical and mental strengths and weaknesses.Working on the premise that handwriting is actually 'brain writing' (in that the hand simply holds the pen, whereas the brain motivates it), the author demonstrates how the structure of the writing can give vital clues to the personality behind it.Graphology can be used in a variety of ways. Employers often call upon handwriting analysis for the purpose of personnel selection and evaluation. The technique can also be used as an aid to career guidance.As well as analysing and interpreting samples of handwriting, the author has provided a selection of spontaneous drawings. She explains in great detail how these too can provide deep insights into the adults and children who produced them.Monica O'Hara-Keeton's findings make fascinating reading for all those interested in the study of handwriting to identify the nature of a person's physical and mental well-being.
