Professor von Greiff's research interests center on addiction treatment, recovery processes, and the social aspects of substance use disorders. She has extensively studied gender differences in recovery, the concept of recovery capital, and long-term follow-up studies of individuals treated for substance use disorders. Her work emphasizes the importance of social context, professional relationships, and individual agency in the recovery process. She investigates how factors like social networks, employment, mental health, and gender influence recovery trajectories and long-term outcomes.
Her publication record shows a consistent focus on qualitative studies examining recovery processes over extended periods. A notable pattern in her research is the emphasis on understanding recovery as a dynamic, individualized process rather than a linear path. She frequently compares gender differences in recovery experiences and examines how social position influences recovery trajectories. Many of her studies employ longitudinal designs with five to thirty-year follow-ups, providing valuable insights into the long-term outcomes of substance abuse treatment.
Professor von Greiff has been involved in numerous research projects including 'Preventing ill-health among close relatives of people with alcohol and drug problems,' 'Five-year follow-up – clients treated for alcohol/drug/psychosocial problems,' 'The future of social service work with substance use (FUSS),' and 'Recovery and identity – a 10-year follow-up.' Her work often involves collaborative research with colleagues like Lisa Skogens and Alain Topor, and she frequently publishes in journals such as Nordic Social Work Research, European Journal of Social Work, and Addiction Research and Theory.
