Sozial work is a typically modern profession and discipline. Ist development was necessitated by the economic, social and political transformation which marked the transition from a traditional to a modern society.

This development took place in various phases which are briefly introduced, in parallel with the various models of "welfare regimes" that came to characterise European nation states.
