    El presente texto explora si las víctimas que aparecen en el Informe de la Comisión de la Verdad de Ecuador (CVE, 2010) perciben Crecimiento Postraumático (CPT), en qué condiciones ocurre y con qué eventos se asocia. Se evaluaron a 48 víctimas, a través del inventario de crecimiento postraumático, provenientes de cinco provincias de Ecuador. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que hay diferencias en el nivel de CPT de acuerdo al número y tipo de vulneraciones presentadas, pero no necesariamente ese crecimiento sugiere un ajuste psicológico. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos sobre las inconsistencias encontradas en la relación entre CPT y víctimas de violencia política

    This article explores if the victims included in the Truth Commission of Ecuador (TCE, 2010) show Posttraumatic Growth (PTG), the conditions in which it occurs and the kind of events that are associated to it. 48 victims from five provinces in Ecuador were evaluated through the posttraumatic growth inventory. Results show that there are some differences on the level of PTG depending on the number of experiences, the type of violence suffered. Despite this fact, growth does not mean psychological adjustment. This article discusses the implications of such findings and the inconsistencies between PTG and the victims of political violence
