In the realm of addiction psychology, Dr. Bishop, the head of the German Society for Addiction Psychology (DG SPS) since 2019, has been a leading voice for over two decades. His research into alcohol addiction spans an impressive 27 years.

Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States proposed a groundbreaking approach to treating alcohol dependence. The FDA suggests that reduced drinking should be considered an equal treatment goal alongside abstinence.

However, when asked for his take on this proposal, Dr. Bishop could not provide any information from the provided search results about his position on this matter.

It is worth noting that subscribers to FAZ+, a German online news platform, can easily cancel their online access with a single click. The original price for access to all FAZ+ articles was 12.80 €, but it is currently reduced to 0.99 €.

Despite the lack of specific information about Dr. Bishop's stance on the FDA's proposal, his research and leadership in the field of addiction psychology will undoubtedly continue to shape discussions and potential treatments for alcohol addiction.
