Quote by Richard D. Rosen

Summary

The quote suggests that there is a prevalent phenomenon in the seventies where people feel the need to endlessly discuss their feelings and thoughts, leading to an excessive use of psychological jargon. The term "psychobabble" is introduced to describe this phenomenon, highlighting the dominance of psychological language in conversations during that era. It implies that this trend has become such a pervasive and dominating force in communication that further progress or meaningful discussions are hindered without acknowledging and addressing this pervasive "institutionalized garrulousness" of psychobabble.
