PsychoDiagnostic Analysis using biometric features
The biometric is a science of genetic medicine that also includes the dermatoglyphic, morphology of the hand and the lines. The biometric analysis is a discipline in psychological diagnosis derived from biometric data from the whole palm. The method was developed by Arnold Holtzman PhD, and is used by psychiatric hospitals and experts in behavioral sciences during their clinical and diagnostic work.
The diagnosis enables the identification of congenital potentials (genetic inheritance, core identity), power systems, degrees of will, formative experiences, emotional difficulties, behavioral difficulties, motor difficulties coordination, hypersensitivity, over-curiosity, attention deficit difficulties, communication difficulties, image and self-confidence, anxieties and more.
The basis of the diagnosis is the principle that determines that potential constitutes a need. Where we see potential, it describes what the person owes himself. We treat a person's potential as equal to their need. If the potential is not realized, it can lead to feelings of frustration, emptiness, anxiety, and depression.
Using the biometric map, we can see with what data the person was born with and the experiences that shaped the person almost from the moment of birth, from the period of the preconscious to present day. Most of the experiences that determined a person's behavioral patterns were experienced in an exceedingly early stages, and usually "lost" from conscious memory. However, the "unconscious" memory remembers everything, and motivates the person to act in a way that he does not always understand.
Perhaps more than any other scientific diagnostic tool available to psychologists and psychiatrists, biometrics succeed in connecting the body and the mind and linking the painful and disruptive "what" with the hidden "why."
The great advantage of this type of diagnosis is that the therapist has a great understanding of the patient from the first meeting, without the need for the patient to represent himself. The diagnosis presents a true picture of the person, usually more accurate than the way in which the person represents himself.
Studies conducted in the fields of psychiatric biology have found that there is a close relationship between changes in brain function and changes in the epidermis in the person's palm. Among the most prominent studies, is a study that was conducted in cooperation with Bar-Ilan University and the Psychiatric Hospital in Ness Ziona, which determined that the data arising from the biometric diagnosis using the palm of the hand, has an empirical validation (reliability of over 80%), and that there is no doubt that the information obtained through diagnosis in the biometric approach deserves scientific attention.
Following Dr. Holtzman research, and based on his conclusions, a team of senior professionals in academia, mental health, behavioral sciences, neurology, and medicine, assembled in order to expand empirical scientific research, and their results were published in the journal Psychiatry Research in three articles of great scientific importance based only on Dr. Holtzman's research and work.
The advantages of the biometric diagnosis
- The diagnosed person is not required to present himself, but to show the palms of his hands.
- The diagnosis shortens therapeutic processes by consciously raising experiences and preconscious records, allowing vision for chronic pain, and thus focused therapeutic work.
- In a very short period of time the therapist receives a clear picture of the patient and the centers of treatment.
- The diagnosis provides in-depth and processed knowledge of oneself and thus helps change.
- The diagnosis provides professional and occupational guidance.
- Scientifically proven reliability.
No person is entitled to present himself/herself as a lecturer/teacher/ diagnostician/biometric professional according to Dr. Holtzman's method, without the documents that validates it on behalf of the Holtzman Institute for Psychodiagnostic Chrysology.
