Without injecting the name here: the argument is a mental health professional who has been secretly cultivating a community around a eugenics movement, and who has on multiple occasions described patient outcomes in detail including location might have had this coming.

Ignore opsec for a moment. If he's discussing patient details, locations and dating material; that's a big ethics red flag we can't simply handwave away with pseudonymity.

The man in question here *specifically* says, "If my patients read my writing it would make it hard for them to listen to me, and that would impact my business." Folks nod like this is fair, but is it actually fair to patients to suggest they're not allowed to know this?

You may find this argument fails to compel you, but that's the argument.

A "he deserves de-anonymizing" because his of his views argument is different. Does not seem to be what NYT was doing or defending. And, yes, of course, therapists deserve extra consideration for privacy and pen names! (As do many others! Pen names are a basic right).

If a therapist is talking about me and the confidential details of my treatment behind my back, in an environment where he himself says he's been targetted by anti-practice elements for years: maybe his patients have a right to know about that reckless decision.

FWIW, any stories involving patients composite multiple patients and change details of age, occupation, etc. You can criticize that for possibly tweaking details of a “true” story in favor of the point he’s making, but it follows standard professional practice.

How do you know this for a fact about the stories Scott tells.

I don’t. He stated that he did while introducing a patient story, and I remember being annoyed by it (for the reason I mentioned). Of course, for the reasons you’ve mentioned, he absolutely shouldn’t share unaltered patient details.
