This article develops some thoughts on the issue of mobility in contemporary mental health practices. Its first part suggests looking for the success of mobile teams in mental health today in the social ideals they reflect. The second part of the article borrows the concepts of infrastructure and of “immutable mobile” from the sociology of science in order to discuss both the nature and extension of what can be mobile in mental health care.
