Psychic energy may also flow inward or outward. If in an individual it usually goes outward, he is an extravert. When he perceives an object or situation, his first reaction is to project his energy onto the object and away from himself. But if it flows inward, he is an introvert, and his first reaction is along the lines of "What will this do to me?" Jung then breaks down personality types into four classes, depending on which of the major psychic functions they rely on most heavily: sensation, thinking, feeling or intuition. Since anybody can be either extraverted...

Turkey admires Israel's compact little army as the region's second-best force (after her own), while Israel sees Turkey as the only other Middle East power of military significance. For Israel, an island in a sea of hatred, the new .neighborliness is doubly welcome...
...nowadays than ever before, Dr. Lindner still feels that there is a real contrast between the woes of today's youth and "those classical descriptions of the storms of adolescence detailed by Shakespeare, Goethe, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Twain, Dickens, Joyce, Mann and the rest." These, he says, were all inward storms. "Lust was in their creations, also vast and devouring if nameless hungers, as well as cosmic yearnings, strange thirsts, occult sensations, murderous rages, vengeful fantasies and imaginings that catalogue all of sin and crime. But, unlike the sorry six from Brooklyn and New Zealand, in them these impulses were...
