PSYCHOLOGICAL WHOLENESS SERIES

9 Mini-Books for Adults and Teens by Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D.

Book #1 -- DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT HEALTHY ANGER

ANGER is a feeling that is widely misunderstood, improperly handled, and sadly involved in

many personal and family problems. Health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. gives

common examples of ways that our all-too-human emotion of anger can actually be beneficial

for everyday living! This is a book for anyone wanting to feel more whole.

Book #2 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT A HEALTHY FEELING HEART

The world is filled with adults and children being referred by medical doctors to mental health

providers because their symptoms do not have physical causes. Yet, even though the roots of

their symptoms are emotional, common psychological “treatments” lack the key ingredients of

loving attention to human feeling and remedies for emotional malfunctions. Health

professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. creatively explains the nature and workings of a well-

formed and balanced emotional life. Making friends with our emotions provides strength for

the journey to psychological wholeness.

"Since DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT A HEALTHY FEELING HEART is the second book in the series, is it

necessary to read the first one?" DR. MARI ANSWERS: "Not an obligation, but an invitation. Yet, if

someone does decide to go ahead and read the books of the 'Psychological Wholeness Series' in order,

one-by-one, the complete learning experience will be wider, richer, deeper, more tied together --making

for greater positive personal and relational impact."

Book #3 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT HEALTHY CONCEPTS OF GOD

Today, we find many adults and children who cannot really say “in God we trust.” Rather

than taking responsibility for their own faults and weaknesses, the blame for all types of

individual and family misfortunes has been placed unfairly upon the shoulders of God. Given

this climate of antagonism, God’s reputation has become increasingly tarnished. In this book,

health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. helps people un-cloud their views of God and

reconnect with the Best Friend anyone can have.

"Fantastic, very good book!" (Miski) "It's fun to read." (Kee N.) "It's clearly written." (Magdalene)

Book #4 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT A HEALTHY THINKING MIND

Do you know what kind of movie is playing in the theater of your mind? Are the scenes rather

neat, a string of big wrecks, or something in between? Health professional Denise Marie Mari,

Ph.D. describes the nature of mental powers that make possible a peaceful and contented mind.

This book provides keys and models for improving your mental hygiene.

"The good analogy you made --that perception is about 'image capture" --impressed

me." (Caty) "The case example, the candy store scenario, is well done." (Mary N.)

Book #5 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT HEALTHY SELF-LOVE

Today millions of people are suffering the effects of a core personal problem --not loving

themselves as they should. The negative fall-out from this affliction of self-hate includes child

behavior problems, anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, over-dependent relationships,

and many other troubles. Yet, part of the self-hate problem comes from the lack of common

knowledge and understanding of what healthy self-love is all about. In this book, health

professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. describes the elements of healthy friendship with

oneself and gives hope for greater love.

"Masking one's self or pretending is well-described." (Ms. Brown)

Book #6 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT

HEALTHY RELATIONS WITH THINGS

In today’s world, adults and youth everywhere are using objects like food, drink, money, and

computers in ways that are immature, addictive, or foolish. Frequent psychological reasons for

irresponsible handling of such things include stress relief, dulling painful emotions,

disappointment in love, and feeling more normal. Of course, these ends do not justify the means.

In this book, health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. explains the path away from unsound

relations with things toward living more beneficially with self, other people, and God.

"I enjoyed the pictures . . . " (Melinda) "I liked 'intellectual property' . . ." (Lina) "I wanted more." (Nil)

Book #7 – DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT HANDLING PAIN HEALTHILY

Life is a risk. No matter who we are or what we do, we will find ourselves faced, at one time

or another, with troubles, difficulties, problems, trials, crises, or even calamities. During this

life, adults and children alike cannot escape from experiencing what C. S. Lewis has clearly

named The Problem of Pain. In this book, health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D.

explains the journey through normal human responses of pain. Dr. Mari also provides

guidance on how to suffer adversity in the best ways we can.

"I would like to . . . let go as you say in your book on handling pain healthily." (Jaime)

Book #8 –DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT HEALTHY-HEARTED MARRIAGE

It is more risky today than ever to get married. In these modern times, the "personal fulfillment"

philosophy of each marriage partner wanting to satisfy himself first and the spouse next is the

standard point of view for couples. It is not surprising then, that signs of marital unhappiness

are everywhere! So what is a young wedded couple to do to build a strong lifetime foundation

for a marriage? In this book, health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. provides over two

dozen basic informational and practical tools to develop a good and caring marital relationship

from the ground up.

Book #9 –DOCTOR MARI TEACHES ABOUT A HEALTHY HOLY FAMILY

More than ever, today’s family relationships are divided by immaturities, psychological

disorders, bad habits, and wrongdoing of all kinds. What ever happened to good family

feelings and family unity at home? Where has all the love gone? In this book, health

professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. plainly unveils valuable threads that have been lost in

the fabric of modern family relations. Dr. Mari also recommends what goods are needed to

newly clothe family members in wellbeing and virtue --for the good of all.

"Great to see the booklets you are publishing. God bless you and the team." (Br. Anthony)

Christian Authored Books for Kids’ Emotional Health by

Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. & Lynn Marie Knapke, M.A.

There is a great deal of confusion today about what a normal human emotional life is like and how it

operates. Often parents, teachers, and families admit they can sometimes be at a loss to explain the

nature of different emotions to their kids or students. They want to do their best to contribute to the

healthy unfolding and balancing of emotions in the growing children they care for. Health professionals

Dr. Denise Marie Mari and Lynn Marie Knapke, M.A. have written "Wisdom On the Life of Emotions" as

the first of a series of Christian teaching story books to improve child emotional health. The aim of the

Emotional Wellbeing Series is to provide child development guidance in service of a stronger life of the

human heart for loving self, others, and God with excellence.
