Photoshop CC 2017 Layer Panel Selection Indicator Dots Missing

I'm using Photoshop CC 2017 and, all of a sudden the program is not behaving like it used to.  When I click on an object, the bounding boxes and dotted lines do not appear and all of the Layer Panel selection indicator dots are missing.

Please Help!  Many thanks in advance.

    Alleycat,

    1. Choose the layer with the move tool
    2. Go to the Control Bar at the top of the screen
    3. Tick Show Transform Controls.

    Thank you so much, Master Mo.  That solved one of my problems.

    I still do NOT have the Selection Indicator Dots on the Layers Panel, though and that is maddening.

    Funning thing is that this behavior seems to persist in Photoshop CS6 as well.

    Is there a configuration file that needs to be deleted somewhere?  I did delete the Cache files in the ~/library folder, but that didn't help.

    Thanks in advance for your help!!
