The aim of DEALING WITH DILEMMA is to inte- grate medical and genetic information with the psychoso- cial aspects of genetic counseling, in order to provide a working manual for genetic counselors.
The purpose of the first four volumes of the Handbook of Genetics is to bring together collections of relatively short, authoritative essays or an- notated compilations of data on topics of significance to geneticists.
In numerous conversations with our colleagues from India, it was suggested that we help to institute a series of symposia in India similar in nature to those that have been conducted by our Latin American colleagues for more than 10 years.
While the previous two volumes in this series were based upon methodol- ogy, theory, and the relationship between ecology and population structure, this book can be viewed as an in-depth case study.
