This review is from: Handwriting Analysis: 2 (Hardcover)

Psychology says that everything we do is a function of our personalities, from what foods we like, to where we sit in the movie theater, to what cars we buy. How we write is no exception. By studying this book thoroughly, you can gain deeper understanding of yourself and insight into others whenever you see their handwriting or even just their signature. I now become more aware of what state I am in by temporary changes in my writing. For example, I notice that I use lighter pressure when tired, etc although I wonder how useful this really is to know. It can be hard to interpret some writing samples that are plain and lack unique traits. But this book, more than others, provides a complete and well- rounded approach to interpreting writing, and shows you that putting graphology to work isn't that hard to do once you understand the basic principles behind it.

However, I disagree with "Chapter 18 Therapy". The author alleges that because our writing reflects our personality that by consciously changing our writing our personalities will conform to our new hand. I tried this and found that with much effort and practice I could change my writing style. However, it didn't change my personality and from time to time I found my writing reverting back to my natural style.
