Book excerpt: Genetic diseases affect the lives of millions of people, regardless of age, race, religion, ethnicity, or social status. Every day, discoveries point to the complex role of genetics in common disorders such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Experience and research have shown that being at risk for a genetic disease can have devastating psychological effects on patients and their families. Genetic counseling helps families and patients cope with the medical, psychological, and social effects of genetic diseases. It is to this end that genetic counselors must be sensitive to the needs of patients and families, understand the psychological meaning of clients’ behaviors, and communicate that understanding in ways that leave clients emotionally enriched, psychologically stronger, and more competent to deal with their own lives. This insightful book covers topics such as: Management of guilt and shame Roles of directiveness in patient care How a healthcare professional can expand counseling skills Understanding the distinction between education and counseling Detailed analysis of a genetic counseling session Providing practical and clinically meaningful ways to enhance counseling skills of genetic counselors, physicians, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, Psyche and Helix: Psychological Aspects of Genetic Counseling consists of essays compiled over two decades, which will serve as a primary source of information for healthcare professionals who render genetic counseling.
