ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the reader to neurobiology that is relevant to, and informs, a neurosequential framework and emphasizes the importance of using this to shape psychotherapeutic interventions for young children, adolescents and adults, so that corrective, developmentally appropriate and creative experiences can be identified and offered. Planning appropriate, sequential interventions requires that account is taken of the age of the client, their stage of development, any developmental trauma issues and their clinical presentation. The environment shapes neurobio - logical development and attachment formation; a creative neurosequential ap proach to therapy maximizes potential for healing and promotes new neuro logical dev - elopment by attending to what we now know about neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology and the biology of both attachment and arousal.
