The present study examined the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post traumatic growth (PTG) among women who were internally displaced from their native areas, because of terrorist activities. The sample consisted of 130 women living in IDPs camps located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It was hypothesized that there would be a positive relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder and post traumatic growth; and that PTSD would be a significant predictor of PTG among women who lost their near family member/s in terrorist activities. A checklist was prepared by the researcher based on DSM-IVTR and SCID (Structural Clinical Interview for Diagnosis) for the assessment of PTSD, therafter called PTSD scale. This newly developed PTSD scale and the Urdu version of Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (Kausar & Saghir, 2010) were administered on all women comprising our sample. The results revealed a curvilinear relationship between PTSD and PTG. Moreover PTSD significantly predicted PTG not only among those who had lost near family member/s during terrorist activities but also among those who did not suffer such loss, though the effect was seen among the later group only when the PTSD variable was squared.
