Charles Barber (born 1962) is an American author and Writer in Residence at Wesleyan University who writes narrative nonfiction books about medicine, psychiatry, and criminal justice.

Barber attended Harvard University, where he studied with and was greatly influenced by the psychiatrist and writer Robert Coles.

After attending graduate school at Columbia University, Barber worked for ten years with the homeless mentally ill in New York City.

He worked in shelters at Bellevue and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and in supportive housing programs.

Later, he worked in the criminal justice system in Connecticut, in prisons and halfway houses.

Before becoming an author, he co-published scholarly works in criminal justice and psychiatry.

2005

In 2005, Barber published Songs from the Black Chair: A Memoir of Mental Interiors, an account of his work with the homeless and also the story of his own experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The New England Journal of Medicine compared the book to William Styron’s Darkness Visible and Sylvia Nasar’s A Beautiful Mind.

2008

In 2008, Barber published Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry is Medicating a Nation, a critique of the over-use of psychiatric medications, particularly antidepressants, to treat and medicate everyday life problems.

Comfortably Numb was a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and was called "a blockbuster" by Library Journal.

In May 2023, Grand Central Publishing released Barber's In the Blood: How Two Outsiders Solved a Centuries Old Medical Mystery and took on the U.S. Army.

The Wall Street Journal described In the Blood as "the captivating, often cinematic story of how a medical innovation was improbably developed, fiercely resisted, and ultimately adopted".

The book has been named an Amazon Editor's Pick for Best Books of 2023 So Far.

Barber has lectured nationally and internationally at colleges, medical schools, and mental health advocacy organizations.

He is a Writer in Residence at Wesleyan University and a Lecturer in Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine.
