Abstract
The PT-symmetric square well problem is considered in a SUSY framework. When the coupling strength lies below the critical value where PT symmetry becomes spontaneously broken, we find a hierarchy of SUSY partner potentials, depicting an unbroken SUSY situation and reducing to the family of -like potentials in the limit. For above , there is a rich diversity of SUSY hierarchies, including some with PT-symmetry breaking and some with partial PT-symmetry restoration.
