Psychoanalysis as a subject theory sees mutuality as basis of personality and development: no one can become a human being in isolation, out of dialogue. There exists a wide range of approaches focused on mutuality: attachment research, relational psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity theory are just some of them. And this is not theory for the sake of theory, because clinical realm is fundamentally different when you focus on mutual influences of the analyst and the patient.
