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

So do you believe that psychiatrists should be banned from sharing any negative beliefs about certain behaviors or beliefs? Do you believe that anti-racist psychiatrists are in the wrong? Or does this only apply to the 'other?'

If I ran the APA, sure, I'm a ban-happy Stalinist as we all know But I don't and I wasn't really advocating that Just, you know, the "free marketplace of ideas"

The argument I'm making here isn't that Scott is a racist, or even that being a racist makes him a bad psychiatrist I'm saying at the very least, HIS PATIENTS GET TO MAKE THAT DECISION

According to Scott, the consensus in his field is that it's better for patients if they go in without prejudices and the like, because psychiatrists (should) act professionally during their job. I don't trust your judgment on this over those with expertise. 1/2

Cool Then the standard in the field is psychiatrists shouldn't have popular blogs about controversial issues, he violated that standard, and by his own logic he actually does deserve to be fired

You keep missing the part where anyone else in the world is under any moral obligation to help Scott lead his exciting risky double life

I mean, according to Scott's fans his blog is of immeasurable value to the intellectual quality of online political conversation, and he's an excellent, empathetic, humane psychiatrist at the top of his field, and to lose either one would be a crime against humanity

But, like, I also read his blog and I think their assessment of the former is laughably false, and therefore don't see why I should take seriously their assessment of the latter either Especially when they have no way to fucking know
