Character and Health

Characterology is probably as old as humankind and, in recent years, the patterns of qualities and relationship found in Oriental medicine have provided fertile ground for writers in several genres. Character and Health is clearly distinguished from other attempts to exploit this ancient fascination. First, and critically, it is based on Dr. Requena's medical professional literature and is thus grounded by the standards and peer review of French physicians. As well, it reflects a working doctor's ethical sensitivity to patients. There are no unfounded claims, quick cures for profound diseases, or commercially adept promises, just solid information derived from a statistically reliable personality inventory, evaluations of hand morphology, childhood illnesses, and adult behaviours.
