Genetic counselling is the process of determining the occurrence of a genetic disorder within a family and of providing appropriate information and advice about the courses of action that are available. It is clear that patient education on genetic disorders will be provided not only by genetic counsellors, but by a variety of health care providers, including physicians, nurses, and public health care professionals. This text should act as a reference text to genetic counsellors and their students.

The practice of genetic counselling; lessons in history, obtaining the family history and constructing a pedigree; interviewing techniques; the medical genetics evaluation; patient education; psychosocial counselling; multiculturalism and the practice of genetic counselling; a guide to case management; medical documentation; ethical and legal issues; relationally based professional conduct for genetic counsellors. Appendix: the code of ethics of the National Society of Genetics Counsellors; student supervision; professional development; new and evolving technologies - implementation considerations for genetic counsellors; computer-based resources for clinical genetics; putting it all together - three case examples.
