ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the use of digital storytelling (DS) as a trauma narrative intervention, in the context of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), for children exposed to domestic violence (CEDV) who received mental health services at a rural domestic violence (DV) agency. The youth therapy program (YTP) was conducted by the fi rst author as clinical coordinator, the second author as program coordinator, and a licensed professional counselor who was a registered play therapist. We wanted to understand the capacity of DS to accommodate the unique needs and circumstances of child witnesses of DV in telling their stories. Digital storytelling, as the term implies, combines storytelling with technology (Lambert, 2006).
