The aim of this contribution is to demonstrate the extent to which psychosociological intervention can benefit from an analysis of the actual work that goes on in the context of interventions involving groups, professional staffs, and institutions that have as their particular defining feature the development of the relation to the other as the very foundation of their activity. This taking account of the actual work that goes on is seen, first : in the framework of professional practice, not depending on established, socially accepted, descriptions ; and second, in the framework of multidisciplinary approaches. Finally, we probe in this context the unique position of a psychosociological clinic in terms of the work situations and the values that it seeks to promote.
