Counseling About Cancer is the comprehensive resource to help genetic counselors and other health care providers effectively assist patients and families through the emotional difficulties of managing hereditary cancer. Now, in its Second Edition, extensive revisions have been made to include up-to-date coverage of the medical and psychological issues surrounding cancer risk counseling, including the major hereditary cancer syndromes, components of cancer risk counseling sessions, and predisposition testing sessions.

In providing single-source coverage of this emerging field, this easy-to-use reference presents:
