One year before the United States granted women the right to vote; the Sisters of St. Joseph broke ground on the construction of the first all-womens college in Kansas. Escalating construction costs put the schools future in jeopardy until Mother Antoinette took her plea for additional funds to Pope Benedict XV himself. Dubbed the "Million-Dollar College;" the hilltop campus overlooking the Smoky Hill River finally opened its doors in 1922. The thousands who matriculated throughout its sixty-seven-year existence created a lasting legacy in the Sunflower State. Join alumnus Patricia Ackerman as she preserves the inspiring history of Marymount College.

It was easy to read for the layman and the use of the art and context was well balanced. I have a daughter with ADD and this book helped explain why she sometimes acts the way she does and the dynamics of the family living with her. Every family who lives with ADD would benefit from this book. I am donating a copy to my local high school; I hope others will do the same.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Awakening and Supporting AD and HD at any AgeBy Irving HermanThis book should fall into the hands of professionals and families whose lives have been affected by contact with this illness.The methodology of art therapy is an insight not only to expose repressed feelings as well as helping to define the perspectives of those with antisocial behavior patterns.The clarity of this easily read book and the dedication of the authors efforts should give impetus to new hope for those who have struggled with this neurological problem.This reviewers first hand encounters with the symptoms of ADand HD;hyperactivity; distractibility and impulsivity which evoked only a loving empathy found the contents of the book a hope-filled horizon.By teaching and giving vent through physical expression in art forms many more senses are engaged leading to awakenings; the author encourages; thereby moving all concerned to more pragmatic and redeeming stages of self regard and social responsibility.Ms. Safrans studies and conclusions may well repave many paths filled with frustrations and heartbreak for families while providing a seemingly simple method to self discovery for the ADandHD affected.....at any age.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Art Therapy: A must with ADHDBy Dr. Myra LevickIn this book; Diane Safran clearly demonstrates her knowledge and skill as a highly qualified art therapist. More importantly; in this work she brilliantly demonstrates the efficacy of this discipline in diagnosing and treating this disorder.What is most impressive is her sensitivity to and the awareness of the pervasive impact this disorder has on the whole family. Regardless of whether the patient is a child or an adult; once the diagnosis is made; Safran and her team are prepared to address individual; family and environmental issues impacting on future progress of the patient.The text is well written; the format easy to follow and the case studies and illustrations excellent.As a pioneer in the field of art therapy education; I recommend this book not only to those teachers and mental health professionals working with ADHD populations; but to students in all fields of mental health who need to be informed about the value of this discipline as an adjunct to their practice and as a significant modality that may be a treatment of choice.
