PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND WRITING

by Florence Witkowski

The work of a graphologist and not a specialist of mental illness, this book endeavours, through a consideration of various symptoms drawn from mental pathology, to expose the essential graphic elements that correspond to such psychopathological states.

Although graphology does not inform us of the gravity of an illness, it can throw light on the personality of the mentally ill and follow the psychological journey of the writer.

This book is addressed to graphologists interested both in clinical matters and in professional selection. It is also aimed at the larger public who confront mental illness every day, in the setting of their family or in a hospital environment.
