Multi-Perspective Palm Reading is a new type of hand reading that is rising from the tousands of scientific reports about various aspects of the hands that have been published so far. In Multi-Perspective Palm Reading is the hand studied from 7 different perspectives in order to make an assessment for various specified themes - which can result in either a confirming- or prognostic 'hand-diagnosis'.

During the 20th and 21th century the (academic) scientific community has produced literally tousands of reports that relate to the hand as a 'diagnostic tool'.

The simian crease + the fingerprints became known as a diagnostic marker for various syndromes & diseases (e.g. hands & Down syndrome & schizophrenia). The fingernails became known for displaying significant health related changes in the body. And Professor John Manning's '2D:4D digit ratio' became known as a marker for various diseases (e.g. heart problems) & personality related characteristics (e.g. autism); nail biting + hand behaviors became known as providing clues for various biological personality characteristics (e.g. autism, neuroticism). But usually these studies did not answer the question: 'what is really required to use these insights for making a reliable hand-diagnosis?'

Prof. John T. Manning, who became a.k.a. 'the finger Professor'.

The essential key-element in Multi-Perspective Palm Reading concerns a fairly simple 'philosophy':

A reliable hand-diagnosis is only possible when a pair of hands displays 'diagnostic clues' in MULTIPLE perspectives of the hand. According Multi-Perspective Palm Reading a person typically requires to have 'diagnostic clues' in at least 3 perspectives of his/her hands, before one can speak of a solid, specified hand-diagnosis.

Aristotle.

Long ago in the history of human kind, ancient philosophers had started pondering about the design and purpose of the human hand. An early example concerns the debate between the Greek philosophers Aristotle and Pline, who debated the cause-and-effect relationship in the hand's development and the emergence of the superior human intellect. Aristotle said: "The Hand is the Organ of the Organs"

Later the hand became in medical science known as the most differentiated external part of the body. Scottish anatomist, neurologist and philosophical theologian Sir Charles Bell described the hand in his 'The hand: its mechanism and vital endowments as evincing design' (1837) as follows: "The Hand is essentially the Organ of the Mind"

Carl Gustav Jung.

And Carl Gustav Jung said: "Chirology [hand reading] is an art which dates back to very ancient times. The ancient physician never hesitated to make use of such auxiliary systems as chiromancy and astrology for diagnostic and prognostic purposes as is shown, for instance, by the book of Dr. Goclenius who lived at the end of the sixteenth century. … The totality-conception of modern biology which is based on the evidence of a host of observations and research does not exclude the possibility that hands, whose shape and functioning are so intimately connected with the psyche, might provide revealing and therefore, interpretable expressions of psychical peculiarity, that is, of the human character. ..."
