- Authors
Conley, Yvette P.; Steele, Amy M.; Puskar, Kathryn R.
- Abstract
Genetics contributes susceptibility to most psychiatric conditions and the understanding of these genetic factors is increasing rapidly. Because of such break- throughs and their implications for patient care, professional nursing organizations support the incorporation of genetics into nursing curricula and the attainment of a working knowledge of genetics by all nurses. In this article, the basics of psychiatric genetics are presented to provide a foundation for the understanding of current and future findings in the field as well as information about family history assessment and appropriate references that the practitioner may find helpful. INSET: Useful Resources in Genetics and Psychiatric Disorders.
