• To integrate NLP into academic curriculum in the distant future

There are several advantages to doing research with NLPIndia particularly in India, they are:

1. The project execution is excellent because of highly committed team members. 

2. We keep costs extremely low by exchanging training for research work with our volunteers. 

3. India has the largest English speaking population in the world.

4.  We don't have any need to invest in Liability insurance in India. This country is known for its non-litigious value system. 

5. We ensure that the project is tied into multiple outcomes making the project feasible & sustainable.

5. We manage the projects with the funds that are available and if need be supplement the costs with our own earnings. 

If there are any research projects that you are interested in doing in NLP and you are looking for an execution partner or a research partner or a sponsor then please write to me at krish75@gmail.com

Past Research Project

In 2019 as part of the CT Coaches Program myself Krish. Srikanth and Dinesh Braganza S.J, Ph.D in conjuntion with Connirae Andreas, the creator of Core Transformation, ran one of the largest research projects in NLP. The research article is still awaiting publication in academic journals. 

Abstract

Core Transformation (CT) is a brief, experiential, process-based intervention integrating experiential-psychological–spiritual dimensions of change. This quasi-experimental study in India examined the effectiveness of a single CT session on symptom reduction. A total of 522 participants, including CT trainees, community members, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, completed pretest and 4-week posttest measures of distress (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales–21), affect (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule), emotional stability (IPIP-50), and global well-being.

Results indicated statistically and clinically significant improvements in scores across measures. Effect sizes ranged from small to large. Categorizing participants by baseline distress (normal, outpatient, inpatient), demonstrated a clear gradient in effect sizes with the normal group demonstrating small effects, whereas the outpatient group demonstrated moderate effects, and inpatient-level participants exhibited uniformly large effect sizes across most outcome measures. Reliable Change Index analyses further indicated that close to 50% of participants experienced clinically meaningful improvement. Outcomes were consistent across participant and coach gender.

Findings replicate CT’s usefulness as a brief, transdiagnostic intervention for counselors, particularly for clients presenting with higher levels of distress, and in underserved settings. Implications for counseling practice and future research are discussed.

Key words: Core Transformation, transdiagnostic, clinical significance, outcome study, underserved populations
