A coupling is provided for connecting two shaft sections in a damping manner, including a bushing arrangement having a radially inner bushing and a radially outer bushing, wherein the radially inner bushing can be coupled to a first shaft section and the radially outer bushing can be coupled to a second shaft section so as to transmit torque, wherein a damping layer is provided between the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing. The bushing arrangement can have a circumferentially wave-shaped contour, wherein the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing have shafts that mesh with each other, and wherein the damping layer is provided with axial openings, which extend reciprocally from both axial ends of the coupling into the damping layer so that damping blocks are formed at the axial ends of the coupling between the radially inner and radially outer bushings.
