Strokes Revised Edition: Inside the Fascinating, Mysterious World of Handwriting Analysis

No book has covered the provocative topic of handwriting analysis with as much sweep and depth. Veteran handwriting analyst Martin Povser covers all the issues that have intrigued the public and analysts themselves, including the ones about doctors' writing and printed writing. Since an analysis determines the writer's personality, he shows many practical uses for an analysis, from personal and family to commercial and governmental. He even delves into cutting-edge issues, such as graphotherapy-reforming your personality by altering your handwriting. He also includes studies on the handwriting of defective people, like serial killers and embezzlers, and persons with emotional ailments, like anorexics and the sexually abused.
In breaking new ground, Povser also takes you inside with professional analyst Allan K. Grim, Jr., recounting his diverse experiences, showing his analysis steps, and conveying his outspoken opinions. Some people link handwriting analysis with dubious subjects like astrology and fortune telling. Acknowledging critics attack his subject's validity, Povser airs the arguments for and against it. However, he makes his case for the public and psychology to accept it as a serious scientific subject. In a bold statement he also explains why he believes it is better than any other psychological test or technique for revealing personality.
Povser's writing style is intimate, off-beat, and sometimes daft, while he expresses candid, dignified views about handwriting analysis. In this innovative book Povser enlightens us about our unique, personal possession---our handwriting. You will never look at your writing the same again.
