Overcoming OCD
Daniel Singer hadn’t eaten in a week. Hunched over with his head in his hands, he’d sit in his “safe” chair for hours, doing nothing but shaking, mumbling and moaning; he was in the throes of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Dan went from seven therapists to ten medications to a nine week stay at a world renowned residential treatment program. His parents worried he’d never again be able to function in society, or even worse, survive. Overcoming OCD: A Journey to Recovery is a mother’s account of the courage and perseverance of a young man who at times was hindered by the very people who were supposed to be helping him. It is a story of hope and the power of family, as well as a useful guide for all those whose lives have been touched by this often misunderstood and misrepresented disorder. Weaving expert commentary and useful information about OCD and its treatment throughout, the authors are able to offer not just a personal account of how the disorder can affect sufferers and families, but also a glimpse into the possibilities for diagnosis, clinical approaches, and successful outcomes. Today, thanks to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, one of the available treatments for OCD, Dan is a college graduate working in his chosen field and living life to the fullest. He is living proof that even those with the most severe cases of OCD can not only recover, but triumph.

Embedding Epistemic Modals
Seth Yalcin has pointed out some puzzling facts about the behaviour of epistemic modals in certain embedded contexts. For example, conditionals that begin 'If it is raining and it might not be raining,...' sound unacceptable, unlike conditionals that begin 'If it is raining and I don't know it,...'. These facts pose a prima facie problem for an orthodox treatment of epistemic modals as expressing propositions about the knowledge of some contextually specified individual or group. This paper develops an explanation of the puzzling facts about embedding within an orthodox framework.

A Brief Review of Systems, Cybernetics, and Complexity
We believe that the ongoing global pandemic has highlighted the need for comprehensive approaches to address issues that transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. Therefore, this article aims to provide a general but abstract review to allow readers of a broad spectrum to learn the basic principles of three related concepts: systems, cybernetics, and complexity. Additionally, to better exemplify these concepts, we offer a review of works from the last decade that use systems theory, complexity, and cybernetics for their development. In this context, the result of this review will allow for breaking down the barriers of reductionist silos of knowledge and fostering a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue.
