A comprehensive 3rd edition of the bestselling, gold-standard textbook in genetic counseling
The medical and scientific knowledge, areas of practice, and individuals and families served by genetic counseling have evolved enormously since the advent of this profession.

This updated version reflects these changes and the increasing body of supporting research.
