Choice and Control

The choice theory is like the contorl theory except something has been removed... what is that? We mean, the Williams Powell system that Glasser made "choice"?

Thank you.

For some time William Glasser stuck fairly closely to the original Control Theory of Powers; see "Stations of the mind" by Glasser. As time went on he simplified the theory and dropped some elements. "Reference perceptions" was one concept he dropped and to an extent the phraseology of "Controling For" . To a large extent Glasser's coloured 'chart' is Control theory in easily understood layman's terms.
