Título: Handwriting Analysis and the Employee Selection Process: A Guide for Human Resource Professionals
Autor: Kathryn Sackheim
Sinopse: The first graphology book written specifically for human resources professionals, this volume is designed to help those involved in the selection of new employees find out how handwriting analysis can help them learn more about the people they plan to hire and promote. As the author notes at the outset, handwriting analysis is beginning to enjoy widespread acceptance in the U.S. as a valuable adjunct to other pre-employment tests. Sackheim suggests how managers can best work with a professional graphologist, shows how to find a consultant with the proper credentials, and demonstrates how to evaluate the various traits revealed by handwriting analysis according to how they affect business situations. Numerous case studies and hundreds of handwriting samples are included to illustrate points made in the text. Sackheim begins by placing graphology into historical perspective, tracing its development from the time of Aristotle to the present. Part I covers the process of graphology and moves from a general discussion of handwriting through such specifics as slant, rhythm, pressure, and size; spacing, writing speed, and style; and straight lines, circle letters, and i-dots. The second section presents case studies of sales people, managers, presidents, and other jobs and demonstrates how handwriting analysis can be an effective tool in evaluating candidates for various types of positions. In the third section, Sackheim provides the first complete survey of the graphology literature ever published. Her review encompasses virtually every study written in English since 1919 as well as over 50 articles in psychological journals. The final chapter addresses the legal issues involved and discusses discrimination laws and the right to privacy, U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requirements. With the background provided here, human resource professionals will be able to add handwriting analysis to the tools they are already using for the selection and evaluation of employment candidates throughout the organization.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Praeger apresentam uma abordagem analítica e detalhada, frequentemente focada em temas históricos, sociais e políticos com densidade informativa. A experiência de leitura tende a ser marcada por narrativas que combinam rigor acadêmico com relatos documentais, como em análises de conflitos militares, violência doméstica sob perspectivas pouco exploradas, e estudos sobre fenômenos sociais complexos. O catálogo sugere uma inclinação para obras que exploram questões controversas ou pouco discutidas, com textos que podem variar do investigativo ao histórico, passando por análises críticas que envolvem dados estatísticos e relatos pessoais. O tom costuma ser direto e fundamentado, com ritmo que privilegia a reflexão profunda e o entendimento contextual.
