According to Peplau, nursing is therapeutic in that it is a
healing art, assisting an individual who is sick or in need of
health care.
Nursing is an interpersonal process because it involves
interaction between two or more individuals with a common
goal.
The attainment of goal is achieved through the use of a
series of steps following a series of pattern.
The nurse and patient work together so both become
mature and knowledgeable in the process.
