Over 25 years ago the Journal of Psychology published an article of mine entitled Making: A Conceptual Frame of Reference for Counseling (Gelatt, 1962). In the article I presented a totally rational approach to making decisions. The approach required decision makers to define their objectives clearly, analyze information rationally, predict consequences, and be consistent. A compatible frame of reference for counseling was then constructed. Now I have changed my mind about decision making. In my opinion, what used to be the way to decide, no longer is. Decision making is not what it used to be, or at least the way we view decision making is not. This means that the old counseling frame of reference ought not be what it was. Modern counselors, like modern physicists, are looking at a different world. Today physicists have had to give up their previous ideas about the order of the universe. The new order, the basis of the new physics, is not to be found in the particles of matter. Rather, it is found in the minds of physicists. What one observes appears to depend on what one chooses to observe. The order of the universe may be the order of our minds, and the mind is where decision making occurs. Quantum physics is showing that is no such thing as a physical world out there (Gleick, 1987; Wolf, 1981 ). There is no such thing as objectivity. Everything is interconnected to everything else in an unbroken wholeness, and the mind is the connector. But can be a new science of this new order? Can psychologists have a new psychology of counseling and decision making? Counselors may have to give up some previous ideas about order in decision mak ing -o r at least be willing to take on a new perspective. Albert Einstein once said: Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting point and its rich environment (Zukau, 1979, p. 19). It is in this context that I write about a new strategy for making decisions and a new framework for counseling. The new view of the decision-making w o r d does not mean de-
