Is there a middle ground between rebirth and thinking that karma is  purely 
psychological? I can't think of one. Sorry if I've misrepresented  
Batchelor here.

Several Buddhist teachers have brought the two together. One is Phra  
Prayudhi Payutto in his book Buddhadhamma: Natural Laws and Values for  Life 
(SUNY publication). 
 
To put it simply, their view is that moment to moment rebirth  
(psychological rebirth) is the same process during life and as in what  happens after 
life ends. Tendencies carry over from moment to moment during  life and as 
well as after life ends.
