Description
A comprehensive 3rd edition of the bestselling, gold-standard textbook in genetic counselling
The medical and scientific knowledge, areas of practice, and individuals and families served by genetic counselling have evolved enormously since the advent of this profession. Since 1998, A Guide to Genetic Counseling has served as the fieldβs seminal text both in the US and internationally, training generations of genetic counsellors to serve patients and deliver high-quality guidance and care.
Ongoing developments in the practice of genetic counselling and genetic testing play key roles in expanding the ways that genetics-based care can support individuals and families as they make difficult and life-altering decisions. This updated version reflects these changes and the increasing body of supporting research.
It is a must-own for anyone looking to understand the principles and guidelines of this essential component of medicine.
Readers of the third edition of A Guide to Genetic Counseling will also find:
- Every chapter significantly updated to reflect the latest research and practice standards
- A text written by genetic counsellors for genetic counsellors
- A practice-driven volume that reflects the guidelines from the Accreditation Council of Genetic Counseling and the American Board of Genetic Counseling
A Guide to Genetic Counseling is an ideal resource to support the training of the next generation of genetic counsellors β including students of both national and international programs, instructors, clinical supervisors, program directors, and practising genetic counsellors.
