Professor Emeritus, Research Professor, Associate Chair

Research Interests

Failure to recover after injury or illness is a significant health problem that is closely tied to a range of psychosocial factors including personality and coping styles, psychopathology, stress, work satisfaction, and financial factors. Dr. Greve's research group has published extensively on the issue of response bias, symptom exaggeration, and malingering, one set of factors associated with poor outcome in a variety of conditions.

Ongoing and future research aims at better understanding the influence of social factors, personality, and psychopathology on outcome following illness or injury. He also retains his interest in cognitive neuropsychology and the rare cases whose analysis from a cognitive and neuroanatomical perspective can shed new light on the relationship between the brain and behavior.
