Description
The first advanced-level genetics counselling skills resource
As genetic medicine and testing continue to expand, so the role of the genetic counsellor is transforming and evolving. Genetic Counseling Practice: Advanced Concepts and Skills is the first text to address ways that genetic counsellors 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, but 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 counselling 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 counselling practice and professional development and training issues of genetic counsellors.
Provides a process view of genetic counsellor service provision; i.e., skills that promote desired genetic counselling outcomes are emphasized (such as relationship skills, patient characteristics, client behaviours, and extra-clinical skills).
Includes experiential activities in every chapter to help readers apply concepts and skills.
Draws on the experience of widely recognised experts in genetic counselling 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 practising genetic counsellors as well as students of genetic counselling programs. In addition, oncology nurses, social workers, and psychologists working with genetic counselling patients and families; medical geneticists and physicians training in the field; and physician assistants will also benefit from this resource.
