2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a serious work, December 5, 2002
This review is from: The Doodle Dictionary (Paperback)
I am interested in doodles being used as a sort of projective test. In other words, can we study someone's doodles and tell anything about their personality or mental or physical traits or illnesses? I am interested in studying doodle interpretation to figure out a) how one is supposed to interpret doodles, b) how the standard ideas of meaning came to be and c) if there is any proven validity to the idea that doodes and handwriting can be analyzed with any effectiveness.
But this book is not meant to be a serious work. Both of the authors do handwriting/doodle analysis and art therapy, but the book is like a Freudian dream interpretation book (doodling a heart means this. Doodling a house means that. So it sits in my doodle file as an example of a simplistic doodle dictionary.
