“…There are few psychologists that I have worked with over the years that are as highly motivated, very-well trained, and clinically skilled as Daniel. We have been collaborators and co-presenters on several occasions. We have had many interactions that have convinced me of his conceptual ability, clinical skill in CBT, and his knowledge of the CBT literature. In his professorial position at the University of Babes-Bolyai in Cluj Napoca, Romania he is a central figure in Eastern Europe for CBT. He heads his own institute at the university and is very involved in CBT training. He is exactly the type of person that we need in the Academy of Cognitive Therapy to represent us…” (In support of the membership for the Academy of Cognitive Therapy Fellowship; 2007).

Former President of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies
"...Dr. David is applying for Fellowship in the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and I highly encourage this effort. Dr. David has proven himself to be an outstanding educator, researcher and clinician, particularly among the European nations. He has singlehandedly established a training program in Romania that has drawn many individuals from within Europe. He has been responsible for translating a great deal of the cognitive-behavior therapy literature into the Romanian language and has also done some outstanding research work in the area of cognitive-behavior therapy. He is extremely thorough and conscious with his work and maintains the utmost respect for ethical practices. Dr. David has maintained a membership for seven years with the Academy for Cognitive Therapy and, in my opinion, has proven himself to be one of the outstanding young professionals in our profession. In my opinion, he is truly an asset to the field of cognitive-behavior therapy, as well as to science, and he is without a doubt destined to eventually be one of the leaders in our field..."
