Clinical Genome Sequencing: Psychological Aspects thoroughly
details key psychological factors to consider while implementing
genome sequencing in clinical practice, taking into account the
subtleties of genetic risk assessment, patient consent and best
practices for sharing genomic findings. Chapter contributions from
leading international researchers and practitioners cover topics
ranging from the current state of genomic testing, to patient
consent, patient responses to sequencing data, common
uncertainties, direct-to-consumer genomics, the role of genome
sequencing in precision medicine, genetic counseling and genome
sequencing, genome sequencing in pediatrics, genome sequencing in
prenatal testing, and ethical issues in genome sequencing. Applied
clinical case studies support concept illustration, making this an
invaluable, practical reference for this important and multifaceted
topic area within genomic medicine.
A CRITICAL NEW APPROACH FOR LEARNING AND THRIVING IN A FIELD OF
CHANGE The scope and responsibilities of today's genetic counselors
exceed the reasonable capacity of any one educational resource.
While the field's first-year curriculum may be relatively fixed,
the landscape of what comes after that - a dizzying mix of
practice, ethics, research design, and professional competencies -
is increasingly broad. Advanced Genetic Counseling offers an
overdue extension of the field's core curriculum. From navigating
ethical dilemmas and potential conflicts of interest to confronting
the biases and patterns of thought that can limit counselors'
interactions with clients, it prepares readers to face the
profession's most challenging aspects with confidence. Drawing on
techniques from psychotherapy, social psychology, and health
behavior, Advanced Genetic Counseling is an essential resource for
trainees and mid-career professionals. It offers a roadmap not just
for addressing client needs, but for the future of genetic
counseling education.
