Characterology: The Art & Science of Character Analysis

It is well-known that handwriting in fingerprints are unique to each individual. In the same way, our faces, hands, head shape, and body structures are also distinct and individual expressions of human character. The body, mind and spirit are intimately interconnected. Just as drops of water eventually edged their path into rock, so too will our true nature, habits and patterns be etched into our physical features. Characterology gives us an understanding of our true natures, our health, and our inherent capabilities and potentials. The self-knowledge gained gives us powerful tools for reinforcing natural aptitudes, understanding personal relationships, making better decisions in vocational choices, and for promoting good health and spiritual growth. The author draws on the works of Ann Koernig, Dr. Homes Merton and William Benham in this comprehensive guide to characterology. Encompassing phrenology, Benham's seven types, and Merton's system of locational counseling, the author takes the reader through the step-by-step process of reading character. We learn how to analyze the profile and face sections, the meaning of Temperaments and head divisions, how to read body proportions and stance. Advanced studies show us how to use characterology tools in combination to determine the strengths and weaknesses in each character type, how one indication of character modifies another, and methods of vocational guidance. Readers will especially benefit from case studies provided with step-by-step advice on how to conduct a characterology counseling session. --- from book's back cover
