L'interdisciplinarité : une visée, une nécessité et une exigence au service du malade

The interdisciplinarity is not beforehand given. It builds itself from day to day. It is however a requirement always more necessary for caring the patients today, particularly at the end of life. We try to define what is interdisciplinarity and to answer the following questions: What are the issues? How does it put into practice and which are the conditions? Which are the risks, in terms of life of group and of common decision-making? What fields does it recut? Does it limit itself to the clinical care of the patients? What openings does it bring and in what is it fundamental?
