As part of an extensive study of the physical properties of active galacticnuclei (AGN) we report high spatial resolution near-IR integral-fieldspectroscopy of the narrow-line region (NLR) and coronal-line region (CLR) ofseven Seyfert galaxies. These measurements elucidate for the first time thetwo-dimensional spatial distribution and kinematics of the recombination lineBr{\gamma} and high-ionization lines [Sivi], [Alix] and [Caviii] on scales <300pc from the AGN. The observations reveal kinematic signatures of rotation andoutflow in the NLR and CLR. The spatially resolved kinematics can be modeled asa combination of an outflow bicone and a rotating disk coincident with themolecular gas. High-excitation emission is seen in both components, suggestingit is leaking out of a clumpy torus. While NGC 1068 (Seyfert 2) is viewednearly edge-on, intermediate-type Seyferts are viewed at intermediate angles,consistent with unified schemes. A correlation between the outflow velocity andthe molecular gas mass in r<30 pc indicates that the accumulation of gas aroundthe AGN increases the collimation and velocity of the outflow. The outflow rateis 2-3 orders of magnitude greater than the accretion rate, implying that theoutflow is mass-loaded by the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). In half ofthe observed AGN the kinetic power of the outflow is of the order of the powerrequired by two-stage feedback models to be thermally coupled to the ISM andmatch the M-{\sigma}* relation. In these objects the radio jet is clearlyinteracting with the ISM, indicative of a link between jet power and outflowpower.
