In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Harold Levinson, a renowned psychiatrist and clinical researcher, provides his long-awaited follow-up work about truly understanding and successfully treating children and adults with many and diverse dyslexia-related disorders such as those found on the cover.      This fascinating, life-changing title is primarily about helping children who suffer from varied combinations and severities of previously unexplained inner-ear-determined symptoms resulting in difficulties with: 

• reading, writing, spelling, math, memory, speech, sense of direction and time
  
• grammar, concentration/activity-level, balance and coordination
  
• headaches, nausea, dizziness, ringing ears, and motion-sickness 
  
• frustration levels and feeling dumb, ugly, klutzy, phobic, and depressed
  
• impulsivity, cutting class, dropping out of school, and substance abuse
  
• bullying and being bullied as well as anger and social interactions
  
• later becoming emotionally traumatized and scarred dysfunctional adults
  

  Feeling Smarter and Smarter is thus also about and for the millions of frus-trated and failing adults who are often overwhelmed by similar and even more complicated symptoms-as well as for their dedicated healers.       Having laid the initial foundations for his many current insights in an earlier bestseller, Smart But Feeling Dumb, Dr. Levinson now presents a compelling range of enlightening new cases and data as well as a large number of highly original discoveries-such as his challenging illumination that all dyslexia-related manifestations are primarily inner-ear or cerebellar-vestibular-not cerebrally-determined and so do not impair IQ, and an "ingeniously simple" explanatory theory of symptom formation.       Most important, all the dyslexia/inner-ear based impairments and their symptoms were discovered by Dr. Levinson to respond rapidly and often "mi-raculously" in 75 to 85 percent of cases when treated with simple and safe inner-ear enhancing medications-thus enabling bright but dumb-feeling children and adults to feel... smarter and smarter.
