“There was an old man with a beard,

Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!””

“Psychobabble is ... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. It’s an idiom that reduces psychological insight to a collection of standardized observations, that provides a frozen lexicon to deal with an infinite variety of problems.”
