Introduction
Therapeutic intervention is the effort made by the people or groups to enhance the health
of the patient who either needs immediate help but refusing it or in other words unable to initiate
or accept the help. The therapeutic intervention can be physical, psychological, social and
spiritual (Perry, Potter, & Ostendorf, 2015). It is also defined as the medicine or therapy applied
to treat the disorder or pain through the involvement and intercession of the proactive therapeutic
practice, that is the person who is suffering from an addicted behaviour, may be benefited with
the therapeutic intervention. Therapeutic intervention (TI) can be provided in the form of
different methods and facilities. TI is provided according to the type of disease a patient has, the
severity of the health condition and their own preferences (Marie, & Jaroslav, 2016). In this
particular assessment report, the application of therapeutic intervention to a specific medical case
will be discussed. The rationale of the therapeutic intervention and how the skills can be
developing in applying this intervention will also be mentioned in this report.

for him properly and his health condition cannot be treated. The patient lives with his wife,
however, he has two daughters and one son but they are living in other cities and used to visit
