Acknowledgments

THIS IS A BOOK THAT WAS BUILT on the wisdom and assistance of many people for whom I express my great appreciation. I wish to thank the National Society of Graphology, where I studied for three intellectually stimulating years, and, in particular, Janice Klein, and my special colleagues, Maresi deMonchy, Adam Brand, Erik Rees, John Beck, Carole Schuler, Evie Tishelman, Irene Lawrence, Harriet Dekker, and, in addition, Peggy Kahn, Sheila Lowe, Dr. Ellen Bowers, and John Schlimm for their generosity in supplying me with some of their personal handwriting samples.

Many thanks to June Rifkin, my dear and valued coauthor and loyal assistant; to Claire Gerus, Stanley Fisher, Ph.D., and Susan Leder for their valuable critiques. I am also grateful to my agent, Peter Rubie, and Dorothy O’Brien at Andrews McMeel, for their competence and guidance and for encouraging me to write about the many aspects of graphology’s reach that are reflected in these pages.

I am immensely appreciative of many friends who helped and stood by me from the beginning to the end of this project: Amy Shoen, Helene Benado, Constance Fairstone, and, in particular, Janine Gordon, for reading and discussing many of the chapters with me, and for her intelligence, clarity, and focus.

I am particularly indebted to Frieda Goldsmith, my most special friend, who showed her sustaining love and goodwill during my many years of research and writing; and to Janelle Paul for guidance and assistance far beyond the call of duty.

Finally, I am grateful to numerous people who cannot be thanked by name—men and women whose writing appears in this book and whose privacy I have promised to protect. The book would not exist without them.
