title: [Psychological implications of family studies by molecular biology. An example--muscular dystrophy].
abstract: A dialogue between a geneticist and a M.D. trained in medical psychology has been established about problems arising in genetic counselling. A better knowledge of themselves allows them to increase the quality of genetic counselling by improving the communication techniques. The whole personality and not only the genetic disease of the individuals seeking genetic counselling is taken into account during the counselling process.
