Saul Newton's Sullivanians, active from the late 1950s to 1991, promoted radical therapy focusing on expanding social and sexual relationships, reshaping urban communal life.
The Sullivanians represented a unique laid-back yet intense experiment in social and sexual liberation, encouraging members to break away from restrictive familial ties through radical communal living.
The group, though operating quietly in Manhattan, included prominent artists and intellectuals, making its influence significant yet often overlooked in the history of American communes.
Stille's examination of the Sullivanians reveals the complexities of their collective identity and the various motivations behind members' involvement in this urban commune.
