The Irritable Male Syndrome

"A pioneering breakthrough!"-Stephen Johnson, PhD, executive director of The Men's Center of Los Angeles "A hopeful book that offers psychological and spiritual wisdom to those men who are struggling with anger, depression, and the changing emotional realities of their lives."-Fredric E. Rabinowitz, PhD, coauthor of "Men and Depression" and "Man Alive"

Jed Diamond, writing at the forefront of this controversial subject, shows how chronic irritability is one of the principal ways men withdraw in order not to have to deal with their feelings; how irritability is linked to anger and violence; and how it so often masks a profound distress and dislocation in men's lives today. Providing advice on preventing, diagnosing and treating IMS, he shows how the lives of irritable men and their worried loved ones may be turned around. Whether you think you might be suffering from IMS yourself or you live with an IMS male you long to help, this wise and perceptive book could change your life.
