Facilitating the Genetic Counseling Process

A Practice Manual

Edición de la obra Facilitating the genetic counseling process

"Designed as an aid to students in Genetic Counseling classes and other healthcare professionals interested in honing their skills, Facilitating the Genetic Counseling Process will guide the reader through the why's and how's of assisting clients. Believing that guided practice and critical reflection lead to skill improvement and to increased self-awareness of significant professional issues, the authors provide a number of written exercises and structured activities. The authors' collective years of both teaching students and counseling clients is reflected in the clear, practical approach of this manual. The content is grounded in a variety of theoretical orientations but never loses sight of the practical realities of how to materially and rationally enhance students' abilities. There are several useful appendices, as well as instructions for counselors on how to advise their clients to use the Internet to its best advantage."--BOOK JACKET.
