自从谢尔顿·里德在1947年首次定义了遗传咨询这个术语以来，已经提出了许多定义。本研究回顾了遗传咨询的定义，包括国家遗传咨询师协会委员会提出的最新定义。分析的重点是谁是制定定义的专业背景;为什么定义创建的原因;医疗，历史和社会因素;和定义者的遗传咨询的隐性或显性目标。没有一个遗传咨询的定义是理想的，任何定义都只能反映定义遗传咨询实践的个人或团体的价值观，道德，目标和医疗实践。(c)2006 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Many definitions of genetic counseling have been proposed since Sheldon Reed first defined the term in 1947. This study reviews selected definitions of genetic counseling including the most recent definition proposed by a committee of the National Society of Genetic Counselors. The analysis focuses on the professional background of who was formulating the definition; the reasons why the definition was created; medical, historical, and social factors; and the definer's implicit or explicit goals of genetic counseling. No definition of genetic counseling is ideal, and any definition can only reflect the values, ethics, goals, and medical practices of the person or group defining the practice of genetic counseling.
