I'm not sure how this addresses the first paragraph of the parent comment. Their point was that he didn't do much of this, and it wasn't the problem Scott raised which was (paraphrasing the comment) about patients developing a personal relationship with him through his ideas expressed on the blog.
- mola 6y agoSo why write a blog if this is a problem. If he is a psychiatrist and considers this an issue, he shouldn't have chosen to become a public persona. But, that is exactly what he chose to do. He himself says that his blog is only psuedo anonymous and it's easy to find out who he is. So it's a risk he knowingly took, the fact that his name is known is on him, not NYT.
