Zusammenfassung:"The shocking story of the Sullivan Institute, a psychoanalytic organization of artists and intellectuals that devolved into a dangerous cult on Manhattan's Upper West Side"--
In the middle of the 1950s, the Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis opened its doors in New York City. Its founders, Saul Newton and Jane Pearce, wanted to start a revolution grounded in ideals of creative expression, sexual liberation, and freedom from the expectations of society. The movement attracted many creative people as patients; in the 1960s the group evolved into an urban commune, with patients living with other patients, leading creative, polyamorous lives. But by the mid-1970s the Institute had devolved into an insular cult, with therapists controlling virtually every aspect of their patients’ lives. Stille reconstructs the inner life of a parallel world hidden in plain sight in the middle of Manhattan, and reveals the nearly unbelievable story of a fallen utopia. -- adapted from jacket
