No book has portrayed 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 writers 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 graphotherapyreforming your personality by altering your handwriting. What about people with serious social problems? Povser discusses what we can learn from the writing of anorexics, ax murderers, embezzlers, 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 subjects 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. Povsers writing style is intimate, off -beat, and sometimes daft, while he expresses candid, dignifi ed views about handwriting analysis. In this innovative book Povser enlightens us about our unique, personal possessionour handwriting. You will never look at your writing the same again.

This book’s first edition was written after my six year odyssey following my stroke. The doctors said if I did not die I would be completely incapacitated physically, mentally and emotionally.

This extended second edition has added information on my eleven additional years of successful therapies which have helped me fulfill my life beyond my dreams. This edition includes my mentoring with other stroke survivors who have contacted me after they read the first edition.

The Stroke by Gerrit Noordzij Pdf

Appearing for the first time in an English-language edition, The Stroke puts forward a genuine theory of writingthat is, the concepts behind letters on the page, whether by pen, pencil, or brush. Concerned not with art calligraphy and beautiful forms, The Stroke is a description of the phenomenon of letters and how they are made in writing. Starting from basic principles, Noordzij begins with the white space that creates definition by surrounding letters. Then, using simple geometrical concepts, he describes in minute detail how the strokes of writing can be formed. His theory serves to repair the split that grew up, with the invention of printing, between written and typographic letters. With The Stroke, Noordzij can be seen as a prophet of digital typography committed to freeing typefaces from the constraints of their embodiment in metal.
