==Background==
Susan Polk met Dr. Polk, a psychotherapist, in 1972 when administrators at her high school recommended she see him to treat her panic attacks.〔〔Pogash, Carol.

Retrieved 30-01-08.〕 Susan Polk later claimed that Dr. Polk first had sex with her when she was sixteen and still under his treatment, a taboo and a violation of professional ethics in the relationship between therapist and patient, which is now illegal in California.〔〔Pogash, Carol. (June 15, 2003) (No ordinary murder ). Originally published in ''Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine''. Hosted at pogash.com. Retrieved 31-01-08.〕 At the time, Dr. Polk had a wife and two children,〔 though that couple subsequently divorced in 1982.〔
After graduating from high school, Polk attended Mills College and San Francisco State University before, in 1982, marrying Dr. Polk, who was then an instructor at the California Graduate School of Family Psychology, and an occasional consultant as well as a private practitioner.〔 At the time of their wedding, Polk was 24 and her husband 50.〔Sweetingham, Lisa.
