As a graduating genetic counseling student, I have found this book to be highly valuable. It covers much of the practical information needed for genetic counseling, from how to run a session to psychosocial issues. It does not cover genetics, and is not meant to be that kind of text. This book is meant to be used in conjunction with genetic counseling classes and clinical training experience.
Fulfill all expectations. I totally recommended it.The book arrived 2 days late, but in perfect conditions. Very good purchase.
