    AbstractThe present development of palliative care structures has led to the organisation, in institutes and also in the home, of multi-disciplinary teams destined that contribute to the care and accompanying of persons at the end of their life. The multiplication of these mobile teams invites us to gain further knowledge on the respective role of each professional and in particular that of the clinical psychologist in a function that is often ignored by the institutions. This study is aimed at providing a better definition of the role and missions of a psychologist working in a mobile team. The psychologists' clinical activity is specified with regard to interventions with the patients and their families and also their intervention among the medical and care professionals who look after these patients. The choice of working in a interdisciplinary group leads to a collaboration of quality and the dynamics of such collaboration guarantee the global approach of the patients in their physical, mental, social and spiritual suffering.
