In that sentence, "approach" can be the meaning of "deal with". Yes?
e.g: He at last found the best way of appoaching that problem.

Hallo all together, my dictionary:

There are several ways of showing your love, or a theorie.
There are different ways of approaching a woman, or Shakespeare well, whatever.
Have fun...
