- In the 1970's, on Manhattan's upper west side, there existed a pyscho sexual therapy group known as the Sullivanian's In later years characterized as a cult, the therapists advocated patients sleep with the therapists and cut off all contact with their families. Babies were forcibly taken from their mothers. Saul B. Newton founded The Sullivan Institute in 1957 with his wife, Dr. Jane Pearce, in an attempt to create a viable alternative to the traditional nuclear family, which he viewed as the root of all social anxiety. Located in three buildings on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the Sullivan Institute operated as both a therapy center and a polyamorous commune, despite the fact that Newton, the leader, had no formal training as a therapist.
