The treatment of personality disorders has advanced enormously in recent decades. These disorders have gone from being considered as untreatable problems to an active area of interest in psychology and psychiatry. Recent new developments geared specifically toward people with personality disorders offer promising perspectives. This book by Dolores Mosquera, already a classic in the area of personality disorders in Spain, has contributed to this changing perspective. Its title poses a revolutionary metaphor for patients and therapists. The mental image of the problems of those dealing with borderline personality might look like a maze or a mess in which they feel stuck, or like something dark and thick from which they have trouble escaping. Readers of this book find a new image of a diamond in the rough, with the understanding that a bright and extremely solid crystal with unique features, is hiding inside. The text of Rough Diamonds, helps people with BPD understand their problem, be aware of the origins, and understand the possible routes to finding a different way of functioning. This is not a simple compilation of theories, but a new way to understand how BPD patterns are generated and maintained. The text also outlines the path of recovery and the different possibilities of treatment.

Solider, politician, miner, pioneer, scion of the President, William Stephen Hamilton led a prolific life.Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton examines the tumultuous early Republic period of American history through the life of Alexander Hamilton's son. Born in New York in 1797, the fifth son of President Alexander Hamilton, he was only six when his father was infamously killed in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. After resigning from West Point, Hamilton moved to frontier Illinois in 1817. The famous name of Hamilton that may have acquired him rank and prestige at one time was meaningless in a Midwestern frontier society driven by the Jacksonians. Yet, despite being hurled into a clash of economic, political, and cultural cultures, Hamilton determined to live his life by his own rules. A veteran of the Winnebago and Black Hawk Wars, Hamilton was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives before moving to the Wisconsin territory, where he founded the mining town of Hamilton's Diggings (Wiota, WI). When gold was discovered in California in 1948, he traveled west, where he would die in Sacramento in 1850. In Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton, author A. K. Fielding expands the story of the Hamilton family. Hamilton's life offers a first-hand account of the formation of the Midwestern states, the realities of life on the frontier, and mass migration caused by the California Gold Rush.
