Abstract
This paper is concerned with the efficacy of genetic counseling with respect to schizophrenia. Evidence for the genetic basis of schizophrenia is reviewed, as are data demonstrating increases in the marital and reproductive rates of schizophrenic patients. The dilemmas of genetic counseling are discussed, and a strategy for early identification of individuals with a predisposition to schizophrenia is described.
