The present study dealt with Herons six-category intervention analysis and presented the model in detail. The interpersonal skills which nurses need to develop were examined because as the literature suggests they are considered a necessary part for an effective therapeutic relationship with a patient. Following that, the procedure of developing a therapeutic relationship with clients was analysed. A reference was made to a personal experience I have had with a patient in the obstetrics unit suffering from SARS. As both the theoretical mainframe of the study and the personal experience section have shown, Herons model of intervention proved out to be a rather helpful way of approaching patients and a way of lessening the pain during the treatment period.
