A Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic Inheritance by Theodora Ross

informative

4.0

I bought this book several years ago as a student interested in becoming a genetic counselor. I didn’t read it until now, as a current genetic counselor. I would absolutely recommend this book to students considering a career in this field. It offers a good perspective of psychological considerations for patients and the scientific background necessary to provide this care. It’s also fascinating to see the historical changes in this area over time, as some of the things mentioned in this book are quickly becoming no longer the current practice or landscape.
