This study was funded by grants from the Israel Foundation Trustees (project PS14/3) and the Israel Science Foundation. I am grateful to Marcela Atar for her important contribution to the data collection. This study could not have taken place without the collaboration of Rivka Carmi and Ilana Shoham-Vardi, who contributed to my understanding of the issues discussed here through their wisdom and experience. I am indebted to Norman Denzin for encouraging me to study genetic counseling from a symbolic interactionist perspective.

N2 - This paper examines a premarital genetics program focusing on congenital deafness, conducted in Israel with a Bedouin minority group characterized by consanguinity, a religious ban on abortion, and high prevalence of genetic diseases. Building on interviews with counselors and counselees as well as observations of the interactions between them, the analysis describes the professional, communal, public and private arenas of negotiation that surround the process of genetic counseling.
