For the analogy to work, the victim would have to rape herself. Lotta rationalists appear to be bad at basic logic.

No, Scott went part-way, the NYT intended to go all the way. Works fine.

So the victim would have half-raped herself? Still not working for you, dude.

Scott never published his real name on his blog, he merely made it possible to find it with some sleuthing. Lots of SSC readers never knew his name, because they didn't do so. The ability to find his name with sleuthing was never Scott's concern. 1/3

His main concern was that patients could find his real name and his secondary concern was that crazy people could easily find it. 2/3

now, why would scott alexander siskind not want his patients to find that he used their cases for general entertainment of his blog readers? that's somewhat a mystery to my, but perhaps you have some insight here…

It is fully consistent with APA guidelines to publish anonymized cases. If you have information that he didn't do so, you should report him to APA. But surely you are just a troll.

It's not about whether he committed a formal APA violation, it's about whether his patients might have been offended if they'd known the way he talked about patients on his blog, and if they'd have had a right to know about him doing so before going to him for treatment

The APA standard doesn't require consent or approval, so this is irrelevant. Any patient can read the APA guidelines and is at risk of being published about anonymously by any psychiatrist. If you have an issue with that, you should take it up with APA, not Scott.

I don't think this is true. Lori Leibovich's book went into it a bit. (She's a psychologist who wrote about her patients.)

Scott's vivid description of both his contempt and *envy* of the convicted domestic abuser who'd had more girlfriends than him certainly crossed what most people would consider to be some sort of line, regardless of what the APA thinks

And yes, I would consider that still true if the patient in the story was an unrecognizable composite of several people or even just made up from whole cloth It's not about a HIPAA violation, it's about revealing Scott's attitude and his character

This is a point I honestly didn't even think about: do his patients deserve to know he has some of these views that are antithetical to the treatment they think they're receiving?
