The Complete Idiot's Guide to Handwriting AnalysisWe know the power of handwriting analysis from such shows as "CSI" and "Hard Copy" - in which a handwritten letter or note can lead to arrest of a criminal or kidnapper. We heard about it million dollar divorce cases in which a graphology expert exposes a forced signature or matches an anonymous love letter to the cheating spouse. But handwriting analysis goes deeper than a simple tool to track undesirables. Before psychotherapy and lie detector tests and profiling, the endlessly fascinating study of graphology recognized patterns of in handwritten material that matched personality traits and contributed to "snapshot of human nature." The Complete Idiot's Guide to Handwriting Analysis, Second Edition, the most popular book on this amazing discipline, shows us how to analyze almost any handwriting sample and understand the special characteristics of its writer's personality. Drawing upon 30 years of experience as a professional graphologist, Sheila Lowe explains clearly and insightfully what every little squiggle or dot shows about a person. |
