Israel "Izzy" Kalman, school psychologist

Israel C. "Izzy" Kalman has been working as a school psychologist and psychotherapist since 1978. For over two decades, he has been intensively helping victims of bullying, initially children and after a few years, adults as well.  He realized that the same principles apply to interpersonal problems throughout the lifetime.

More recently, he has been teaching these methods to mental health professionals and educators primarily throughout the United States and Canada. He has developed a method which can be applied quickly and easily to help empower victims of bullying, which is consistent with all major schools of psychology, philosophy and religion. 

Using his methods, people can stop others from bullying them without going to the principal or other authorities, and without getting anyone in trouble.

He has created a website, http://www.bullies2buddies.com with lots of good information to help victims of bullying:

• bullying in school
• bullying in the workplace
• bullying by parents of their children
• cyberbullying

See also his discussion of the session where he revealed his "antidote to bullying" to the American Psychiatric Congress:
