Revised and Updated Smart But Feeling Dumb New Understanding and Dramatic Treatment for Dyslexia (LD/ADD)

In an easy-to-understand narrative style, Dr. Harold Levinson captures and portrays the true nature and essence of dyslexia and its related attention deficit and anxiety disorders. And by relying on and analyzing the actual descriptive content of dyslexics, he simultaneously provides readers with the first and only way of medically understanding, diagnosing, treating, and even preventing dyslexia and its devastating impact on self-esteem. This is a book that provides real hope and help to countless millions. And by contrasting his patient-based groundbreaking insights vs. those theoretically-derived by traditionalists, Dr. Levinson appears to weave a fascinating tale of two theories - one that works miracles vs. one that has led absolutely nowhere scientifically for over a century. By carefully listening to the many and varied dyslexics presented here, you will be led, as was Dr. Levinson, to simply and naturally solve all the puzzling riddles characterizing this previously mystifying disorder. And readers will also come to realize the vital key to this solution: that dyslexics, and not experts, truly feel, intuitively understand and thus ultimately define their disorder. Last and most important, the vital therapeutic insights within this work will enable all dyslexics to feel as smart as they really are and ensure that they successfully fulfill the goals and dreams that otherwise might never have been possible.

Dr. Harold Levinson, a world-renowned psychiatrist and neurologist, began his pioneering research on dyslexia 40 years ago within the New York City Board of Education. Previously Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Medical Center, Dr. Levinson is currently Clinical/Research Director of The Levinson Medical Center for Learning Disabilities now active in New York, England, and Hong Kong. He has written eight books and many scientific papers dealing with the cerebellar-vestibular (inner-ear) origins and treatments of dyslexia, and related learning, attention deficit and anxiety or phobic disorders. His groundbreaking research has been presented at forums worldwide and reviewed by such popular media as The New York Times, Science, Time, and Smithsonian, as well as presented on national and even international radio and TV (i.e., Donahue, Larry King Live, BBC, etc.). Dr. Levinson s highly original concepts have recently been supported and independently validated by Nobel Prize winning and other outstanding scientists and are now considered decades ahead of its time.
