Abstract
This study suggests an intervention method constructed through a reasoning process for clients with higher brain dysfunctions. The client had stroke-related variegated higher brain dysfunctions, which were manifested in his inability to get dressed, bathe, and do housework independently. Firstly, the client and his spouse were interviewed using narrative reasoning about their needs as indicated by Mattingly. Secondly, intervention methods were considered using scientific reasoning regarding getting dressed, bathing, and doing housework. Finally, the client became able to dress, bathe, and complete some parts of housework.
