The Sullivanians

Set against the backdrop of 1950s America, this story traces the rise and fall of the Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis, a revolutionary movement that championed sexual liberation and creative expression, attracting renowned artists and performers. Over the decades, the movement evolved from a vibrant communal experiment into an insular cult, controlling its members' lives in ways that ultimately led to its dissolution. Through extensive research and interviews, the book uncovers the complex inner world of this hidden community and its impact on those involved.
