Objectives: We describe an artwork observation training program proposed to the first-year psychiatry residents in the school of medicine of Montpellier-Nîmes (Université de Montpellier). This course aimed at improving the ability to observe, tolerate ambiguity in healthcare, work as a team, communicate, and develop empathy. We also evaluated the impact of this program on the enhancement of emotional and communication skills in a pilot study., Materials and Methods: The artwork observation program based on Visual Thinking Strategies consisted of three sessions of ninety minutes involving two groups of eight medical students. First-year volunteer psychiatry residents were recruited. Before the sessions participants completed the Groningen Reflection ability Scale to evaluate reflection skills. Then, all the participants examined paintings and drawings of the Atger collection, were encouraged to observe carefully, and to engage in active group discussion by means of a structured questioning. Following the session, participants responded to a short survey to assess potential improvement of socio-emotional and communication skills., Results: Fifteen psychiatry residents participated in the pilot study, eight were males. The median age was twenty-five years. The artwork observation program was well accepted by the participants. All the respondents reported improvement of emotional and communication skills, except regarding three empathy items, including the ability to feel the suffering of others which was increased only for 62% of respondents., Discussion: Our program relying on Visual Thinking Strategies may improve the ability to observe carefully, to perceive the mental states of others, and to tolerate uncertainty. Training of such skills may encourage the adoption of self-reflective attitudes., Conclusions: Such an artistic innovative program should be extended to undergraduate students in medical curriculum., (Copyright © 2024 L'Encéphale, Paris.

The article focuses on the importance of the Spanish Netherlands for Great Britain between 1600 and 1630. The article states that the emergence of this new territorial entity in the 16th and 17th centuries which aimed for a kind of autonomy from the Spanish power changed the diplomatic situation in Europe. According to the article, that period was profitable for the Spanish Netherlands but not for England, under the reign of James I, from 1603 to 1625, and Charles I, from 1625 to 1649. The author also states that the archdukes of the Spanish Netherlands represented quality artistic agents for James I and Charles I.
