Title:	THE ACCULTURATION OF MACEDONIAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES
Author:	Malinajdovska, Ljubica Blaze
Description:	The purpose in conducting this research was to examine the acculturation of separated Macedonian immigrants in the United States, attitudes towards mental health services, and perceptions about seeking help. The participants in the study were 6 Macedonian male, immigrants between the ages of 45 and 65. The results of study demonstrated that these participants had preserved their culture, maintained a strong Macedonian ethnic identity, and felt a sense of accomplishment and success. The results suggested that the participants were reluctant to seek out mental health services from mental health professionals. They preferred to seek out help from God, family, close friends, or a medical doctor. The act of seeking help was perceived as monetary, physical, and short term. These results have implications for both counselor educators and counseling practitioners.
