Jacques P. Barber is an Emeritus Professor and Emeritus Dean at the Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology, formerly the Institute of Advanced Studies in Psychology, at Adelphi University.¹² He served as Dean from August 2011 until his retirement in August 2023.³ Before joining Adelphi, Barber was a full professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the Psychology Graduate Group at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is now Emeritus Professor of Psychology.⁴⁵ He also holds the title of Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine.

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). He has also been a visiting professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and at universities in Australia. He is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and Pennsylvania.

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.

In addition to his treatment research, Barber has studied individual core conflicts and metacognition across various populations, including children of Holocaust survivors. Over his career, he has published more than 380 papers, chapters, and books in the fields of psychotherapy and personality, accumulating over 28,000 citations and an h-index of 86.¹⁰

Among his notable publications are:

• "Psychodynamic Therapy: A Guide to Evidence-Based Practice, 2nd edition" (2024) with Richard Summers and Sigal Zilcha Mano¹¹
• "Practicing Psychodynamic Therapy: A Casebook" (2014) with Richard Summers¹²
• "Visions in Psychotherapy Research and Practice: Reflections from the Presidents of the Society for Psychotherapy Research" co-edited with Bernhard Strauss and Louis Georges Castonguay¹³
• "Echoes of the Trauma: Relationship Themes and Emotions in the Narratives of the Children of Holocaust Survivors" co-authored with Hadas Wiseman¹⁴
• "The Therapeutic Alliance: An Evidence-Based Approach to Practice" co-edited with J. Christopher Muran¹⁵

Barber is also known for his commitment to mentoring students and postdoctoral fellows throughout his career.
