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.
