Diamond, Jed — Irritable Male Syndrome
We often hear terms in the vernacular to describe a man when he is easily frustrated or angered. Seemingly insignificant things can easily explode into arguments that can affect if not seriously damage couples’ relationships when some men develop what has been called the “irritable male syndrome.” Identifying and understanding these troubled waters is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. Our guest is Jed Diamond, Ph.D., author of the book “Mr. Mean: Saving Your Relationship from the Irritable Male Syndrome.” In this visit we explore the causes of the “irritable male syndrome,” how it affects relationships and how a better understanding of its causal factors and influences can help diffuse anger and frustration that draw joy from couples’ partnerships. Jed Diamond, Ph.D., is an internationally respected leader in the men’s health movement. I spoke with Jed Diamond on May, 28, 2010 in the Radio Curious studios in Ukiah, California and began by asking him to define the “irritable male syndrome.”
The book Jed Diamond recommends is “Chaos Point 2012 and Beyond: Appointment with Destiny,” by Ervin Laszlo.
