| Â | Pendulum Resources: The Family Psychoeducational Approach |
 | | While the evidence to support the belief that the vulnerability to develop a major affective disorder is genetically transmitted and neurochemically expressed has been strengthened over the past decade, it has unfortunately been accompanied by a philosophy that drugs and other somatic therapies offer the best, and sometimes the only, choice for treatment. | | | During the fifth and final session, the therapist and the family review what has been learned: the nature, course, and treatment of the disorder; the effects on the relationship system; and the strategies developed to avoid the conflicts that arose as a consequence of the patient's change in behavior during an acute episode of illness. | | | The psychiatrist clarified that J.C.'s hypersexual behavior was a symptom of the illness and not the volitional act of a "bad child." This led the family to the realization that she had been punished and shunned for behavior that was out of her control. |

| | Genetic counselors, they felt, focus only on issues of procreation and are not available over a long period to discuss problems as they change over time. | | | As a clinical psychologist concerned with genetic diseases, I was interested in exploring how the two disciplines of psychology and genetics could pool their expertise to render a more comprehensive service to the client. | | | The genetic counselor or a psychotherapist familiar with genetics should be able to help the individual "work through" (in the psychoanalytic sense) the relevant facts. |

| Â | Guilford Chapter Excerpt |
| | In this view, psychiatric genetics is a handmaiden to psychopharmacology; together, the two perpetuate a simplistic biological paradigm that would explain mental illness without referring to learning, family interaction, psychologic processes, or other nonbiologic phenomena that may detour human development from its ideal path. | | | After reading this chapter you should have a general idea of what psychiatric genetics is, what it is not, and how it might prove useful to you in clinical practice. | | | To others, psychiatric genetics casts the dark shadow of eugenics, a political view that uses genetic knowledge to dictate health care options, reproductive rights, or even the right to life itself. |

| | If not, and parents insist, they may be inadvertently exposing their children to insurance discrimination and there is the possibility of either negative or positive compensatory behavior on their part toward the child. | | | The integrated approach is important because patients must understand the ramifications of either result in their lives, and be prepared to receive that result. | | | If the person has not had children yet, the test provides very strong motivation for careful consideration of family planning. |

| | First of all, a condition that runs in families may or may not be "genetic" in origin; second, not all "genetic" conditions are fully penetrant. | | | As a psychiatric researcher, I have spent most of my professional life studying the way that mood, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders run in families. | | | A family history of serious physical or mental illness may or may not identify a "genetic taint." Also, the fact that a particular illness runs in families does NOT indicate that a particular individual, or his or her descendants, are necessarily going to get it. |
