1. The goal of this 8-9 week online-course is to help the student familiarize him/herself with the various features of the handwriting that are subject to analysis, understand what handwriting analysis is, what it can and can not reveal about the writer, learn to recognize the major personality features, cognitive and affective processes, social interaction and adjustment, and finally enable the student to recognize the cardinal signs of potentially violent behavior as well as the cardinal features of mental health problems.
2. In working toward the above goals, one basic principle will be repeated time and again:
No single handwriting feature, no single stroke, no matter how prominent it may appear, in it by itself can not be a reliable factor in determining or predicting the behavior and or personality of the writer.
3. This online course will be presented in 8 lectures, to be emailed to a each student before the class meets online for a live and open discussion.
