Clustering

Each feature revealed in handwriting is only a clue and should never be regarded in isolation. A disciplined professional handwriting analyst will never jump to conclusions but rather balance and counterbalance features until an integrated picture develops.

The Clustering Refresher course provides a system which aids the handwriting analyst to find balances and counter-balances, ensuring an integrated approach and is a must for any serious and responsible handwriting analyst. Students have access to self directed learning activities online.

Handwriting Analysis of Sexually Abused Children & their Perpetrators

Since what the handwriting may reveal about potential sexual abuse, is very sensitive and potentially explosive, the handwriting analyst learns how to approach this information with the utmost care and responsibility.

It must also be stressed that no handwriting feature on its own indicates sexual abuse. The handwriting feature must be taken in the context of other features present in the handwriting, i.e. approached from a Gestalt perspective.
