Current research works

Evidence-based buddhist psychotherapy

Dr. Hall is now researching Buddhist Psychotherapy based on the theory of Early Buddhism. She studied the manuscripts of Early Buddhism and applied the theory to psychotherapy practice. Despite the massive pile of work, the research is still in an initial state. However, the clients' feedback showed that the results are profound and proven effective in depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and psychotic patients. Researches are IRB approved by Alliant International University, USA.
