最近的研究强调了传统治疗方法在治疗非西方人群心理痛苦方面的重要性。这项在马萨诸塞州进行的初步研究，调查了柬埔寨佛教僧侣认为柬埔寨难民愤怒的原因、现象学和适当的干预策略。六名僧侣在马萨诸塞州的四座主要寺庙接受了采访。调查结果表明，愤怒在柬埔寨社区中很常见，经常由婚姻不和引发，通常导致言语和身体暴力，有时还会导致自杀。被僧侣们认为有用的基于佛教的愤怒管理策略包括佛教教义的教育、正念冥想练习，以及草药和圣水的使用。这些愤怒调节策略和治疗是在佛教信仰和西方心理干预的背景下讨论的。
Recent research has highlighted the importance of traditional methods of healing in relation to the treatment of psychological distress in non-Western populations. This pilot study, conducted in Massachusetts, investigates what Buddhist Cambodian monks consider to be the causes, phenomenology and appropriate intervention strategies for anger among Cambodian refugees. Six monks were interviewed at four major temples in Massachusetts. Findings suggested that anger was common in the Cambodian community, was frequently triggered by marital discord, and commonly resulted in verbal and physical violence and, sometimes, suicidality. Buddhist-based anger management strategies identified as useful by the monks included education about Buddhist doctrines, mindfulness meditation practices, and the use of herbal medication and holy water. These anger regulation strategies and treatments are discussed in the context of Buddhist beliefs and Western psychological interventions.
