Summary:In 1925 the first School of Social Service was founded in Chile, as a pioneer school not only in the country but also in all South America. It has been already ninety years of history, almost a century at this level. The present article provides a vision on this history, but not as a chronological and non problematic account of events. What is sought is, in first place, provide a historical reconstruction about the development of the Social Work in Chile since the foundation of the first school, with emphasis on someone discussions, underlying orientations and/or problematic nodes peculiar to this process. Along with this, a set of critical bounded reflections are presented on the influence of the sociopolitical context in the Chilean and Latin American Social Work. The discussion ends with a set of core challenges.
