On the Upper West Side of NYC for over three decades, a new book tells the tale of 'the Sullivanians', a psychotherapeutic sex cult that existed almost entirely in secrecy. Saul B. Newton (pictured left), the country's violent leader, argued that traditional family values were'the source of all evil.' With no medical degree, he persuaded members to spend thousands of dollars on their therapy sessions, where he often requested oral sex and encouraged his followers to sleep with a new partner every night. The cult attracted over 600 members, many of whom were housed in communal dormitories within three buildings on the Upper West Side, during the era of acclaim. Jackson Pollock, an abstract painter (top right), actress Joan Harvey, and novelist Richard Price were among the many admirers of the art.
