MOURA, Alexandre Rambo de  and  D'AGORD, Marta Regina de Leão. Sidonie love: when the beloved must remain unattainable. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.2, pp.285-297. ISSN 0101-4838.

This article has been written from the biography Desejos secretos, a história de Sidonie C., a paciente homossexual de Freud (Rieder & Voigt, 2008) and from the arran gement brought to light by Courtly Love (Capelão, 2000) and by The Precious movement. Our discussion is guided by a particular subject's position in relation to love, when love is sustained only by the security of a constraint, a distance that deprives and preserves, at least in parts, the subject, from contacting the loved one. The need for an unattainable love, which specifically aims its non-achievement, seems to reveal that there is something unbearable in letting oneself engage into a bond which shelters something real, involves transiting through the desire of the Other and which requires some change of position.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; Sidonie; Courtly Love; The Precious.
