It is intended as a platform for scholars, researchers and practitioners, who are interested in Graphology as a holistic discipline, based on the general concepts of psycho-diagnostics. It aims at discussing ideas, methods, and case studies, and to exchange learning materials and concepts from the different “Gestalt Graphology” schools which have evolved from the European traditions. We hope to fill the gap left by language barriers between the different European, American and Asian sub-cultures.

The journal's scope encompasses all areas of graphology, including new empirical research, survey articles on theoretical approaches, comparative analyses of case studies, technological aids and questioned documents. We also foster discussion of individual articles in the unreviewed bulletin board of the on-line format.
