Abstract
![CDATA[Evidence suggests healthcare requires multidisciplinary practices. Yet multidisciplinary practices are often hampered by disciplinary divisions. This is particularly in palliative care, where curing is often juxtaposed against caring. Although research verifies the role of emotion in health(care), this largely considers the emotional sequelae experienced by clinicians, patients, and carers. There is limited recognition of the role of emotion in multidisciplinary practices. This article presents findings from an eight-month ethnography within a community health centre that offered palliative care to patients at home. Findings suggest that emotion can promote multidisciplinary palliative care by: justifying practices; storying and collectivising experiences; and shaping professional identities. These findings have important implications for researchers and clinicians, all of which are discussed.]]
