Condusse lavoro sul campo nelle Americhe, in India, Cina, Africa ed Europa, offrendo profonde intuizioni su diverse culture. La sua opera principale sintetizzò esplorazioni sullo sciamanesimo, le religioni del mondo, le tradizioni dei nativi americani, gli stati alterati di coscienza e il ruolo delle sostanze psicoattive nei sistemi di credenze. La scrittura di La Barre fornisce un esame approfondito dei fondamenti psicologici e culturali dei fenomeni religiosi.
