Qualitative story completion (SC) research involves the novel qualitative application of a technique previously used in quantitative research and clinical assessment, in which participants write stories in response to a story "stem" designed by the researcher. The resulting stories are analyzed to identify patterns of meaning using conventional qualitative analytic approaches such as thematic analysis. In place of the more typical self-report methods used in qualitative research, such as interviews or focus groups, the method provides a categorically different way to explore a topic, one which can offer new understandings to counseling psychology researchers. In particular, SC's capacity to illuminate social discourses makes it particularly useful for understanding the potential ways in which socially marginalized populations are understood in therapeutic spaces as well as for understanding how clients of all kinds may make sense of therapeutic interactions. This article provides an introduction to qualitative SC, explaining the method and its origins, and offering practical guidance about how to use it. The method is illustrated with examples from the existing SC literature and a hypothetical study focused on understandings of mental health difficulties in the workplace.

咨询心理学研究的定性故事完成：一种询问主导话语的创造性方法。

定性故事完成 (SC) 研究涉及以前在定量研究和临床评估中使用的技术的新颖定性应用，其中参与者根据研究人员设计的故事“词干”编写故事。使用传统的定性分析方法（例如主题分析）对由此产生的故事进行分析，以识别意义模式。代替定性研究中使用的更典型的自我报告方法，例如访谈或焦点小组，该方法提供了一种截然不同的探索主题的方式，可以为咨询心理学研究人员提供新的理解。特别是，SC' 阐明社会话语的能力使其对于理解社会边缘人群在治疗空间中被理解的潜在方式以及理解各种客户如何理解治疗互动特别有用。本文介绍了定性 SC，解释了该方法及其起源，并提供了有关如何使用它的实用指导。该方法通过现有 SC 文献中的示例和侧重于理解工作场所心理健康困难的假设研究进行了说明。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。解释该方法及其起源，并提供有关如何使用它的实用指导。该方法通过现有 SC 文献中的示例和侧重于理解工作场所心理健康困难的假设研究进行了说明。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。解释该方法及其起源，并提供有关如何使用它的实用指导。该方法通过现有 SC 文献中的示例和侧重于理解工作场所心理健康困难的假设研究进行了说明。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
