Morphopsychology is a field of alternative science that proposes a correspondence between human facial morphology (the shape and configuration of the face) and individual personality. The concept of morphopsychology was developed by Louis Corman (1901–1995), a French psychiatrist who argued that the workings of vital forces within the human body resulted in different facial shapes and forms.[1] For example, full and round body shapes are considered the expression of the instinct of expansion while the hollow or flat shapes are an expression of self-preservation.
