Psychobabble was defined by the writer who coined the word, R.D. Rosen,[REF][REF] as a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candour, and understanding it pretends to promote.
Rosen coined the word in 1975 in a book review for The Boston Phoenix, then featured it in a cover story for the magazine New Times titled "Psychobabble: The New Language of Candor."[REF]
