Abstract: New work modes are being consolidated in our society since the second half of century XX. The manual worker, that made available the time and physical force to be explored by the market, has been re placed by the very informed worker, that acts with the use of knowledge, problem resolution, sociability and affection. The social worker, whose intervention has gone back to the human relationships and their difficulties of social insertion, is one of the professionals that follow this tendency, executing what some authors call "immaterial work". We will analyze the affectionate dimensions that are present in this profession and the ways found by this worker to analyze and elaborate experiences, at times d ifficult and constrained, that are part of his daily work.
