The first advanced-level genetics counseling skills resource
As genetic medicine and testing continue to expand, so the role
of the genetic counselor is transforming and evolving. Genetic
Counseling Practice: Advanced Concepts and Skills is the first
text to address ways that genetic counselors can deepen their
skills to meet expanding practice demands. This timely resource not
only helps readers further develop their abilities to gather
relevant data and interpret it for patients, it also aids them in
surpassing their usual role by truly understanding patient
situations, incorporating patient values into clinical practice,
providing in-depth support, and facilitating thoroughly informed,
autonomous decisions.
Edited by an expert cross-disciplinary team consisting of a
genetic counseling program director, a licensed psychologist, and a
nurse/bioethicist/family social scientist, this authoritative
reference provides specific and detailed instruction in addressing
psychosocial aspects of genetic counseling practice and
professional development and training issues of genetic
counselors.
* Provides a process view of genetic counselor service
provision; i.e., skills that promote desired genetic counseling
outcomes are emphasized (such as relationship skills, patient
characteristics, client behaviors, and extra-clinical skills)
* Includes experiential activities in every chapter to help
readers apply concepts and skills
* Draws on the experience of widely recognized experts in genetic
counseling theory, practice, and research, who serve as chapter
authors
* Features numerous specific, real-life examples from clinical
practice
Genetic Counseling Practice addresses issues relevant to
practicing genetic counselors as well as students of genetic
counseling programs. In addition, oncology nurses, social workers,
and psychologists working with genetic counseling patients and
families; medical geneticists and physicians training in the field;
and physician assistants will also benefit from this resource.
