He founded Fellowship for Racial and Economic Equality in the late 1960s and later Southeast Institute in Chapel Hill, NC, where he was president. In the early 1980s he immigrated to Sweden where he practices psychotherapy and teaches psychotherapists, and works with a variety of companies and other organizations. He began commuting to the former Yugoslavia, in the late 1970s, to teach psychotherapy, and led his students in founding the School for the Cybernetics of Psychotherapy. As a scholar he has studied the psychopathology that is brought forth in theory-centered psychotherapy, for which he received the international Eric Berne Memorial Award in 2005. His work links psychotherapy to cybernetics, the science that studies communication. Dialogotherapy is a result.

He is a certified group psychotherapist (and a clinical member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association), a member of the Swedish Society for Clinical Hypnosis, Association for Psychological Science, a non-practicing teaching and supervising transactional analyst, a member of the International Transactional Analysis Association, a charter member and diplomate of the Redecision Therapy Association, and a fellow of the American Society for Cybernetics.

Among his publications are two books, one he edited, Transactional Analysis After Eric Berne: Teachings and Practices of Three TA Schools (1977), and the other, a collection of essays, Justice, Love and Wisdom: Linking Psychotherapy to Second-Order Cybernetics (1994). His doctoral dissertation (RMIT, 2002), Psychopathology of Psychotherapy: A Cybernetic Study of Theory, is available electronically: http://public.me.com/grahambarnes, and several of his published essays are also available online.
