1. Academics want to investigate graphology

2. Academics have already investigated graphology

3. Academics do investigate graphology now.

4. Graphologists want to collaborate with academics.

5. Graphologists are reluctant to collaborate with academics.

6. Various academic disciplines are relevant to graphology They include law, psychology, sociology etc.

7. Graphology has been included in education in different ways: description, Evaluation, Experimentation by staff… By post-graduates… By undergraduates… and even by school pupils.

8. Projects vary in time… 2 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month, one semester rarely longer, and this is a problem

9. Teaching of graphology has taken place at different levels one lecture, short course, up to 3 years part time and full time

Heidelberg, Cologne, Summer schools Prescott College in Arizona Munich, Fribourg, Hamburg, Bielefeld, Berlin; Messina.

My conclusion is that… Graphology needs to be present in academia… to develop … and to be accepted as a legitimate tool.
