Abstract
Interaction can be viewed on the one hand from the subjective perspective of perception and experience and on the other hand formally and analytically as a structure of mutual dependence. A closer look at both research traditions reveals that experience and action are structured primarily by the same three dimensions of interaction, namely the extent of communion, possible differences in power and the degree of momentary activation. On this basis, typical problems of interaction can be analysed and recommendations made for coaching practice.
