Genetic Counseling Practice
Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. The field prides itself on being in the vanguard in dispensing health education for people who have potential, or already evident, inherited disorders. This field has wide scope, including breaking the news to those who have been diagnosed with inherited diseases, providing family planning advice or charting out a meaningful existence for those who are prone to inherited diseases.
The inner workings of genetic counselling have received little attention despite its indispensable role in an age where the pendulum of science has swung towards genetic determinism.
Advanced Concepts and Skills fulfils this role. The volume represents the synthesis of current knowledge and practice in the field of genetics as it applies to human diseases and its consequences in the social context. Bartels have invited a group of genetic counselor writers to synthesize fresh approaches to genetic counselling.

Inclusion of perspectives from diverse disciplines gives testimony to the fact that genomic medicine has many repercussions and so requires a multidisciplinary effort. In many publications with multiple authors, repetitions are often inevitable. This volume has managed to avoid such pitfalls.
Proffered as an introduction to the field, the volume indeed lives up to expectations. The authors have laboured to include practical activities or scenarios to further consolidate the application of the concepts presented. There are many references that could be used for situations outside the industrialised countries of the West. Such inclusions give strength to this book. In developing countries like Oman, genetic disorders are increasingly being recognised.
