What's a psychobabble person?

I see it a relatively useful tool for looking at the basic needs of a human in a sort of semi scientific way.  It's useless to try and teach or help a person if the basic metabolic needs are not met, so a level of poverty where food and shelter are not available seems to be absolute, and we should ensure that all able to eat before they learn to dance.

It does separate out the person whose goals are destructive because it includes respect for self and others in one of its stages thus ensuring that the hierarchy is benign.   I think the assumption is that self development is going to be healthiest when it recommends love and belonging after stage 1 and 2.
