    Migration is an arduous process and can be a stress-inducing experience (Aroian & Norris, 2003) that can lead to numerous social and mental health issues varying from social isolation, depression and anxiety (Blair, 2000). Alongside migration comes the complex and lifelong endeavor of acculturation, defined as the process by which individuals or groups transition from one or more cultures into another (Cainkar, 2000). Although Arab immigrants have been migrating to the United States since 1854 (Miller, 1976) and may currently number more than two million today (Nydell, 2012), discussion of the Arab American populations was, until recently, conspicuously absent from the literature. This article will first explore the reasons for immigration as it impacts the way this population assimilates to their host country. It will then provide a description of the challenges and difficulties this population faces, with a focus on the source of the post immigration stressors they undergo and the impact it has on their acculturation process. Finally, it will explore the use of an existential approach in treatment with an Arab-American client resisting assimilation to the new host country due to an inability to cope with post-immigration stressors.

    The Mental Health of refugees is an important factor that can play into how they adjust to, and live in a new area or country. It can be more difficult for a refugee to adjust to a new country if that country is on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to development. Some refugees immigrate to new countries to have a better life; most of those countries are high income countries. Today Syrian refugees are finding different ways to get into better counties in Europe. Many are coming in by boats loading as many people as possible, which results in dangerous journeys for the refugees and a large amount of people flooding European countries. Reported by the news network CNN, as many as 30 refugees are piling onto a small inflatable boat along the Turkish coast just to paddle their way to Greece (Watson). Many are just trying to create a better life for themselves or for their families. Refugees transitioning to these new countries can often experience culture shock once they enter into their host country. Researchers have found that refugees can be affected by post-traumatic stress disorder and

  • The Syrian Refugee Crisis

    1420 Words  | 3 Pages

    A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to the basic requirements of life; a place to live, food to eat, and a form of employment or access to education. Currently, the largest cause of refugees is the Syrian civil war, which has displaced over 2.1 million people. As a country of relative wealth, the United States should be able to provide refuge for many refugees, as well as provide monetary support to the refugees that they are not able to receive.
