Imagine being a mother separated from her infant by an oppressive group like the Sullivanians with cult-like control. In this episode hear Annie's heartbreaking journey to rescue her daughter Rosie from the Sullivanians.  With the crucial help of a women's shelter's dedicated legal advocates, I helped  Annie orchestrate a daring escape and go into hiding.  There is urgency and tension in every step of her plan to reclaim her daughter.Listen to the emotional turbulence that eventually culminates in the courtroom battle for custody that exposes the spurious workings of the  Sullivanians,  threatening their existence. The episode also sheds light on the broader experiences of former members of the Sullivan Institute, including the emotional and social challenges they faced. Through gripping accounts from individuals like Ben and Karen, who risked everything for their freedom, and the eventual downfall of the group under Saul Newton's erratic rule, this is a poignant exploration of life within a cult. When joining a cult you are unaware of the full level of commitment you are about to make, or the extent to which your autonomy is about to be curtailed. I hope that by sharing my personal story and shedding light on the Sullivanians, I've helped to explain why people are attracted to cults in the first place. In Annie's case, some are born into them, for some, it is the promise of a community or to better themselves,  or the promise of sexual availability, but it is usually during a time of vulnerability in a person's life.This is the final chapter.  My name is Shelley Feinerman. I hope you have found the podcast of interest and I thank you for listening.  I went on to have a successful career, married, and have an amazing son.

Esperanza and Irwin welcome Columbia University Professor Alexander Stille, the author of The Sullivanians. The Sullivan Institute was a maverick psychoanalytic practice and cult that flourished on the Upper West Side from 1957 until 1991. Paramount to the Sullivanian doctrine was the rejection of the traditional nuclear family and monogamous relationships. “The Sullivanians told myparents that the worst thing a person can do is raise their own children,” said Lauren Olitski, the daughter of painter and patient Jules Olitski. The patients were high functioning, intelligent and creative people, including the singer Judy Collins and writer Richard Price. But its influence over Jackson Pollock, and its presence in the Barnes Landing section of Springs for a fascinating, and different, Our Hamptons Podcast.

In the five years I'd been in the group,  its ranks swelled and the group  with its emphasis on artistic endeavors that were once revered merged with the authoritarian cult-like Fourth Wall with its many directives and shifting focus. The shift coincided with  Lein's marriage to his second wife a soap opera actress and aspiring stage director. It was her idea to merge the two.The Fourth Wall subsumed personal identities into the group's collective thinking. Membership was mandatory along with monthly dues and other burgeoning monetary costs. Annie,  Stan, and  Ollie betrayed me and after the summer my friendship with Annie disintegrated. Listen to this episode to learn more about how Annie forced me from the apartment and the bizarre twist  Stan threw my way the week after I'd moved out.  Had I  lost my individuality?  After five years,  I was left with two choices: I could start over alone or stay and exist on the fringeThe complete documentary Through a BlueWindow can be seen on my youtube channel shellfein1.

"I was like reborn," the art critic Clement Greenberg once remembered, "it was the most important event in my life." The event in question was his encounter with Sullivanian therapy. His biographer, Florence Rubenfeld, once wrote that it would not overstretch the facts to say that after the late '50s, Clem's comportment in the art world can only be understood in this context. Yet despite how large Clement Greenberg looms as the most impactful U.S. critic of the 20th century, few people know this history. A new book called The Sullivanians, Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune is raising the subject once again, as literally one chapter in a much larger narrative. A lot of other people shared Greenberg's experience of rebirth. From the 1950s to the 1980s, hundreds of bright, educated people looking for purpose and community passed through the doors of the Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis on New York's Upper West Side. Formulated into a doctrine by Saul Newton and Jane Pierce, this experimental therapy promised to liberate devotees from both creative and sexual repression. In the course of the 60s, it would evolve into a multi-decade experiment in polyamory, collective living, and group child rearing, before eventually coming apart in scandal when the inner workings of the group were exposed in the 1980s. Recently, the author of The Sullivanians, Alexander Stile, joined Ben Davis to talk about both about the Sullivan Institute's contact with U.S. art at mid-century, and more importantly, about the larger story of what this group became and what it represents now.

In the middle of the Ozzie and Harriet 1950s, the birth control pill was introduced and a maverick psychoanalytic institute, 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, one grounded in ideals of creative expression, sexual liberation, and freedom from the expectations of society, and the revolution, they felt, needed to begin at home. Dismantling the nuclear family—and monogamous marriage—would free people from the repressive forces of their parents. In its first two decades, the movement attracted many brilliant, creative people as patients: the painter Jackson Pollock and a swarm of other abstract expressionist artists, the famed art critic Clement Greenberg, the singer Judy Collins, and the dancer Lucinda Childs. In the 1960s, the group evolved into an urban commune of three or four hundred people, with patients living with other patients, leading creative, polyamorous lives. But by the mid-1970s, under the leadership of Saul Newton, the Institute had devolved from a radical communal experiment into an insular cult, with therapists controlling virtually every aspect of their patients' lives, from where they lived and the work they did to how often they saw their sexual partners and their children.  Although the group was highly secretive during its lifetime and even after its dissolution in 1991, the noted journalist Alexander Stille has succeeded in reconstructing the inner life of a parallel world hidden in plain sight in the middle of Manhattan. Through countless interviews and personal papers, The Sullivanians: Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune (FSG, 2023) reveals the nearly unbelievable story of a fallen utopia.

We're back with an all new episode about a small but wild cult that existed in the heart of New York City for decades. Not many people have heard this story, but they soon will with a (hopefully) forthcoming docuseries.

For decades, the Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis operated in the Upper West Side in Manhattan, first as a boundary-breaking commune that attracted artists like Jackson Pollock and Judy Collins in the 50s and 60s... and later, in the 70s, as a cult led by Saul Newton. AuthorAlexander Stille joins us to discuss his reporting on the Sullivan Institute and his new book, The Sullivanians: Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune.

The Sullivan Institute Was A Psychotherapy Cult Based In New York's West Side That Demonized Nuclear Families. The Good: Arts Not much good with this one The Bad: The beatings Lack of children Lack of Growth The Culty (is there anything in this cult worth incorporating into our own?): The Summer of The Nice Cult Revolution.

In the 1960s, a strange new cult emerged in Manhattan's Upper West Side out of the Sullivan Institute. A cult created by shady "therapist" Saul Newton, who twisted the psychoanalytical teachings of Henry Stack Sullivan into something insidious - a way from him to sleep with paying therapy patients, have them move onto his compound, and play god over their lives. He and a few of his wives would run their scam for decades. They convinced members to live on their compound, pay to be in continual therapy, and pay to put on propaganda plays at their Fourth Wall Theater. Members also paid to be sexually used by cult leadership, leadership that decided who they had sex with, who they could have kids with, who would raise those kids, and so much more. Cult! Cult!

This week we're talking the about Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis, founded by Saul Newton and his then wife, Jane Pearce, in 1957, as a progressive psychoanalytic training school named for one of Newton's teachers,  a psychoanalyst by the name of Harry Stack Sullivan. However the Institute's approach would go on to diverge radically from Sullivan's own ideas. It attracted prominent artists, with its experimental vision of relationships suited to '60s rebelliousness. The Institute became widely known for its wild Saturday night parties and sexually free summer house in Long Island. Gradually, ex-members say, Newton's iron grip transformed the group into a reclusive army. “For years I followed Saul Newton's orders,” reflects Bray. “I enforced Sullivanian rules about parent-children relationships. There was just one little problem. We fell in love with our kids.”   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://people.com/archive/two-anxious-fathers-battle-a-therapy-cult-for-their-kids-vol-30-no-4/ https://www.ranker.com/list/saul-b-newton-sullivan-institute-cult/jodi-smith https://sites.psu.edu/tesskehoercl/2018/12/02/the-sullivanians/ https://books.google.com/books?id=XOcCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=sullivanians+1989+New+York+Magazine+article&source=bl&ots=IFdQMBb5im&sig=9gTIMcGzzHJpDx8Bz-pESJDkFZA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjUo7SF3KDPAhVGWh4KHbTMDhwQ6AEIODAE#v=onepage&q=sullivanians%201989%20New%20York%20Magazine%20article&f=false https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1988/07/27/cult-or-therapy-parents-at-war/617db5ff-00d3-4979-96a3-d484f9ca5397/    

Founded in the 1950s by a WWII veteran, the Sullivan Institute advanced ideas of free love and non-monogamy. But its leader, Saul Newton, grew tyrannical.

After graduating from Harvard University in the early 1970s, Paul Sprecher decided to head to the Big Apple, in search of exciting opportunities. Instead, he stumbled upon a group led by an increasingly erratic authoritarian, who sought to impose his views about sex and the nuclear family on his hundreds of devotees. Surprisingly enough, its ranks included prominent celebrities from that decade, as well as other high-profile figures, most of whom were only too happy to give up their salaries to fund their leader's various whims.

Once upon a time there was an Upper West Side Sex Cult in NYC. It attracted the likes of Jackson Pollock and intellectuals from NYC. Saul B. Newton and his wife founded the Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis in 1957. They believed the traditional family ties were the root cause of mental illness and a monogamous lifestyle reinforced the dysfunction. The patients and therapists lived in a commune together- with the patients encouraged to sever ties with their families. Follow Sip & Shine Podcast on Social Media Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/sipshinepod Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sipshinepod Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sipshinepod Bloody Date Night is a podcast described as:  Liz & Josh are dating.
