ISRAEL (IZZY) C. KALMAN, MS, Nationally Certified School Psychologist, is a nationally renowned instructor in anger control, bullying, and relationship problems.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at CCNY in New York in 1974, and a Master's of Science degree in clinical psychology at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia in 1978 before working as a school psychologist and psychotherapist in Israel and eventually in New York City.
