While counseling psychologists made substantial proposals to advance qualitative research since the special issue on related methods was published 15-years ago (Haverkamp, Morrow, & Ponterotto, 2005), the field continues to demonstrate an overreliance on quantitative methods. Though important for producing knowledge we can depend on, excessive use of these methods poses a barrier for counseling psychologists to address the needs of the communities that are at the core of our discipline's values-those who are marginalized and underserved in society. In alignment with our values of social justice, advocacy, and empowerment, we propose counseling psychologists adopt a methodology within a critical paradigm to better address issues of inequality and inequity when working with underrepresented communities, such as digital storytelling. Rooted in a movement to increase access to art for marginalized communities in the 1970s and 1980s, digital storytelling is an arts-based research methodology that captures first-person narrated accounts of peoples' lives through the use of stories, photos, and videos, and empowers communities to be a part of research to create social change. We provide recommendations for using digital storytelling in counseling psychology research as outlined through 5 phases, including Phase I) digital storytelling's critical paradigm, Phase II) project development, Phase III) implementation, Phase IV) data analysis, and Phase V) dissemination. While doing so, we draw on examples from 2 digital storytelling projects we are familiar with, Immigrant Stories and OrigiNatives, providing a framework for a digital frontier in counseling psychology research.

数字讲故事方法：关于让代表性不足的社区参与咨询心理学研究的参与式方法的建议。

自从 15 年前出版了有关相关方法的特刊（Haverkamp、Morrow 和 Ponterotto，2005 年）以来，尽管咨询心理学家提出了推进定性研究的实质性建议，但该领域继续表现出对定量方法的过度依赖。尽管对于产生我们可以依赖的知识很重要，但过度使用这些方法给咨询心理学家带来了障碍，以解决作为我们学科价值观核心的社区的需求——那些在社会中被边缘化和服务不足的人。根据我们的社会正义、倡导和赋权的价值观，我们建议咨询心理学家在关键范式中采用一种方法论，以便在与代表性不足的社区合作时更好地解决不平等和不平等问题，例如数字故事。数字叙事源于 1970 年代和 1980 年代为边缘化社区增加获得艺术的机会的运动，是一种基于艺术的研究方法，通过使用故事、照片和视频来捕捉人们生活的第一人称叙述，以及使社区成为研究的一部分，以创造社会变革。我们提供了在咨询心理学研究中使用数字叙事的建议，分为 5 个阶段，包括阶段 I）数字叙事的关键范式、阶段 II）项目开发、阶段 III）实施、阶段 IV）数据分析和阶段 V）传播。在此过程中，我们借鉴了我们熟悉的 2 个数字故事讲述项目 Immigrant Stories 和 OrigiNatives 中的示例，为咨询心理学研究的数字前沿提供了框架。
