Summary: "Change, if you will, is in the DNA of genetic counseling. The clinical activity of genetic counseling began in the early decades of the 20th century. It then continued to evolve in response to advances in the understanding of the principles of genetics and the expansion of biomedical technology and bioinformatics. This in turn led to a greater understanding of genetic disease etiology, manifestations, variability, and treatment, along with new genetic testing capabilities such as genomic analysis, prenatal testing, and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. Equally important advances occurred in the study of human behavior and psychology, public health policy, ethical analysis, and counseling theory. These have occurred in the context of shifting social and ethical norms, reproductive patterns like the decades long unwavering trend in delayed child-bearing in many Westernized countries, and new philosophies of medical care such as patients assuming greater responsibility for their health care management and owning their medical records"-- Provided by publisher
