Abstract
The objective of genetic counseling is to provide accurate information in a manner enabling individuals or families to make decisions that optimize their sense of well-being in relation to the occurrence or potential occurrence of an inherited disorder. A process oriented model of counseling for genetic disorders is proposed, consisting of 4 components: goals classification, content, process, and assessment of goal attainment.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
