The Pareto Principle or "80-20 Rule" states that whether it be in sports, economics or health care, only 20% of inputs are responsible for 80% of a given outcome. Dr. Jeff Perron, C.Psych and host Dr. Pete Kelly, C.Psych explore this principle in the context of CBT where they identify those strategies and interventions which they feel provide the greatest value proposition for both clients and clinicians. In the course of this discussion Drs. Perron and Kelly outline cognitive restructuring, core belief work, acceptance & commitment therapy, contentedness vs. happiness, mindful awareness, problem-focused coping, sleep hygiene, behavioural activation, and radical acceptance.
