Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 2hR0x7FU. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. New telecommunications technologies promise to profoundly change the spatial and temporal relationship between health professional and patient. This paper reports results from an ethnographic study of the introduction of a videophone or'telemedicine'system intended to facilitate faster and more convenient referral of patients with anxiety and depression in primary care, to a community mental health team. We explore the reasons for contest over the telemedicine system in practice, contrasting professionals'critique of the technology in play with a more fundamental problem : the extent to which the telecommunications system threatened deeply embedded professional constructs about the nature and practice of therapeutic relationships.
