Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the causes that Iranians migrate out of their country, as well as the struggles and strengths of acculturation for first-generation Iranian refugees in the United States (U.S.). Many individuals and clinicians are unaware of how to work with certain immigrant and refugee populations, and this review will inform those individuals and clinicians of ways to work with, treat, and help these families upon arrival and acculturation into the U.S. Ten participants were interviewed to share experiences of their acculturation process in the U.S. Themes were found from the interviews to include language barriers, isolation from families, and lifestyle changes. This chapter will include additional research about why Iranian refugees fled Iran, historical information about the Islamic Republic and its regulations on its people, as well as the acculturation process for Iranian refugees in the United States.
