Everyone uses the word “context” from time to time and intuitively knows more or less what it means. Yet it is a difficult concept to grasp, because the meaning of context is itself... well, context-dependent. It is, however, a very important concept, especially in care and support, where context and context blindness (difficulties using context to predict and understand the world) play a major role. The talent with which Koen Thomeer manages to describe the concepts of context and context blindness is quite rare. His website provides accurate and scientifically grounded insights into context blindness and clarifies its role in psychological vulnerability. A must-read for anyone working with psychologically vulnerable people.

The importance of the context in which people function is greater than most of us realize. Even in 2025, mental healthcare still tends to focus on the individual — on how he or she should adapt or become more resilient in this world. But what if the world we live in has become so complex that people are losing psychological balance on a large scale? What if interpreting, predicting, and tolerating our daily reality has become a rather difficult task for many? Then the DSM classifications start to multiply, along with the treatment plans that follow. Yet, it can also help to thoughtfully influence the context in which we function — whether through targeted adjustments at work or by creating a less demanding environment in general. It also helps to better understand that there is great variation in how people interpret contexts, and what this variation looks like.
