Relationship styles are broken up into non-power exchange relationships and power exchange relationships.
While it is acceptable to assume that in any given interaction there is some form of power exchange, the non-power exchange relationships do not necessarily require a conscious transfer of power or authority in order to exist (even though they may possess conscious exchange of power), while the power exchange relationships tend to function with this is a key part of the roles of the relationship in some capacity. In many cases relationships may follow one, none, or many of these templates.
