Advanced Genetic Counseling Practice reflects the growing recognition that the role of genetic counselors extends well beyond that of an information provider. Well trained, experienced genetic counselors will benefit from chapters intended to further develop professionals' ability to gather relevant information effectively; interpret information for patients; provide patients with appropriate resources; then go one step further. The authors encourage counselors to understand patient situations, incorporate patient values into clinical practice, provide in-depth support, and deal with both manifest and latent factors affecting patient decision-making to truly facilitate informed, autonomous decisions.

Designed as an aid to students in Genetics counseling classes and 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 with these complex issues. The authors' collective years of both teaching students and counseling clients is reflected in the clear, practical approach of this manual.
