This article presents some results of a case-study exploratory and descriptive research, characterizing the interdisciplinary work of several teams of health professionals who assist high-complexity pediatric patients. This investigation, made from the Institutional Psychology perspective, is based on the assumption that the social imaginaries are constitutive of the ways of doing, saying and arranging the practices, and are expressed in modes of organization. This presentation exposes the characteristics of the interdisciplinary teams under study, as well as the ways they were constituted and organized according to particular manners of "imaginarizing" that interdiscipline. Different kinds of interdisciplinary exchange have been characterized, organized according to shared imaginaries, metaphorized as: support, audit, play, and "trabajo hormiga" (a laborious and meticulous work). Although in practice each one of these groups gives prevalence to one of these modes, in the assistance task itself different ways of "imaginarizing" it coexist.

Keywords : Interdiscipline; Interdisciplinary work; Imaginaries; Assistance team.
