Abstract The social context of a person, meaning their relationships and daily interactions, is an important factor for understanding mental health. However, personalised feedback approaches to psychotherapy do not consider this sufficiently yet. Therefore, we developed interactive prototype focusing specifically on person’s as captured with personal networks (PSN) interactions experience sampling methodology (ESM). We describe the development well two evaluation studies: Semi-structured interviews students (N = 23) focus group discussion five patients. Participants from both studies considered useful. participation in our study, which included assessment via PSN ESM session, insightful. it remains unclear how much insight procedure generated beyond insights they already gained assessments. patients indicated that clinical context, (social context) may be especially useful generate clinician facilitate collaboration between patient clinician. Furthermore, became clear current requires explanations by researcher or trained cannot function stand-alone intervention. As such, discuss starting point future research implementation.
