[AIDS: challenge to liaison psychiatry. Various expectations by clinicians concerning liaison psychiatry]

Interdisciplinary group work could be conceived as shared common abilities in order to provide a global management of diseases. In this regard, psychologists should assumed several tasks: to advise on patient's psychological resources to keep them less anxious or more cooperative, to humanize hospital and death, to prevent burn-out. This does not mean a management of the illness, but a careful listening to help patients to find a meaning to what they are living. The aim should not to harmonize different skills but to define each other place (physician, social worker, nurse, psychologist...) concerning queries that involve us and that wonder us about life, health, sexuality, love, the way we take risks.
