Svoje rozsiahle terénne výskumy realizoval naprieč Amerikami i v Ázii, Afrike a Európe. Jeho kľúčové dielo skúma pôvod náboženstva optikou šamanizmu, domorodých kultúr, zmenených stavov vedomia a užívania látok v rámci vierovyznaní. La Barreho prístup ponúkol hlboký vhľad do psychologických a kultúrnych koreňov náboženských javov.
