Models for the region emitting the forbidden and the permitted lines of Quasars and Seyfert nuclei are reviewed. First, the mode of energy supply is discussed, and it is concluded that, while the supply is predominantly radiative in the region emitting the forbidden lines, as generally assumed, it is probably partly kinetic in the region emitting the permitted lines. The models include stationary photoionized models, where the thermal equilibrium and the transfer are solved, models in which the transfer and the thermal equilibrium are not taken into account, and time dependent photoionized models. A brief discussion of the other kinds of possible models is given.
