We review here the magnetic properties of some strongly correlated electron systems and especially cerium and uranium compounds. The normal Kondo lattice model with a localized S=1/2 spin can account for the Kondo-magnetism competition observed in cerium or ytterbium systems, while the underscreened Kondo lattice model with a localized S=1 spin can well account for the ferromagnetism - Kondo coexistence observed in some uranium compounds such as UTe. Then, we discuss the spin glass-Kondo competition and present the resulting phase diagrams showing spin glass, Kondo and magnetically ordered phases observed in disordered heavy fermion cerium alloys such as CeNixCu1-x alloys.
