Designed to accompany the Gestalt Graphology self-directed course, this illustrated textbook can also be used independently. It offers clear instruction with many examples for analyzing personality through handwriting using Gestalt principles.

Grounded in decades of practical experience and psychological research, the course explores handwriting through its essential components-spatial arrangement, form, movement, rhythm, simplification, pressure, and the three zones-along with in-depth chapters on emotional expression, margins, spacing, signature analysis, and zone measurement. Each chapter includes examples to support learning and application.

Gestalt Graphology: Self-directed Course Textbook is a comprehensive guide for students, professionals, and enthusiasts of handwriting analysis who wish to understand personality through the lens of Gestalt theory. This richly illustrated textbook presents the core principles of Gestalt graphology in a clear, accessible format designed for self-paced study.

NOTE: Reading the textbook alone does not constitute enrollment in the course. Students officially enrolled in the self-directed course will receive a set of questions for each section, which may be submitted to instructor Sheila Lowe for review and feedback. Upon successful completion, students will receive a Certificate of Completion (note: this is not a certification). Enrollment also includes a free copy of Succeeding in the Business of Handwriting Analysis, two bonus video sets, and additional course materials.
