Because of the emotional and potentially life-altering impact of these diseases on the patient and family, counseling can be especially challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare hands-on guide to the subject, \u003ci\u003eGenetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Disease\u003c\/i\u003e deals with core issues that differentiate adult neurogenetic counseling from its more familiar pediatric counterpart. This innovative book with accompanying videos is designed to fill in deficits in this area typical of training programs in genetic counseling (which have pediatrics and prenatal concentrations) and neurology (which rarely cover genetic counseling). For each condition featured, chapters include a detailed overview of genetic symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and management, plus guidelines for asking, and answering, pertinent questions. The major concentration, however, is on genetic counseling issues and case histories illustrating these issues. As an added dimension, the accompanying \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003evideos depict representative issues and challenges in genetic counseling for specific diseases in addition to the basics of a neurological examination.
