In a valve for a hydraulic power steering, comprising a first valve element and a second valve element which from a central position can be rotatably displaced relative to each other to a limited extent in the one or other direction in order to generate a steering assistance, it is provided that one of the valve elements can be rotatably displaced from a neutral position into the one or other direction relative to an associated shaft and that a coupling mechanism is provided which limits the displacement in rotation of the valve element relative to the shaft and urges the valve element into the neutral position.
