title: [A chip off the old block? Clinical genetics approach in the practice of psychiatric consultation].
abstract: Psychiatry and Genetics are known to have an increasingly tighter bond with each other, which drives professionals the need to stay focused and updated. We use case studies as the means to link theoretical concepts with daily work. By doing so, we hope to provide psychiatrists some of the most necessary tools that will help them identify the need to consult a Genetic Counselor while treating a patient. This will certainly help diagnose patients and offer them the adequate treatment, whenever applicable. Patients and their families will also benefit from the possibility of receiving the appropriate counseling.
