Barber has held several prominent positions in the field of psychology, including serving as the past president of the International Society for Psychotherapy Research (ISPR).6 His contributions to the field have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Early Career Award (1996) and the Distinguished Research Career Award (2014) from the ISPR.78 In 2018, he received the Distinguished Psychologist Award from the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy (APA Division 29),9 and in 2019, the Research Award from the Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychology (APA Division 39).

His research primarily focuses on the outcomes and processes of psychodynamic and cognitive therapies for conditions such as depression, panic disorder, substance dependence, and personality disorders. His work, funded by organizations such as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has involved conducting randomized clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of these therapies. Barber's psychotherapy process research is guided by conceptual models that emphasize both relational and technical factors, with particular attention to the therapeutic alliance and the use of theoretically relevant interventions by therapists.
