This article introduces the concept of Éthos as the ethical-symbolic structure of desire and a mediating organism between Anima Pulsa, Mnémethos, and Egos. The Éthos is defined as an instance that regulates drive expression, guides affective memory, and modulates ego configuration, functioning as an axis of subjective coherence. Within the framework of the new clinical theory, its role in sustaining the symbolic field is explored, preventing ethical collapse and adaptive drifts that compromise desire. Clinical implications, metapsychological foundations, and practical examples illustrate the Éthos’ function in analysis. It is argued that ethical listening goes beyond interpretation, involving the maintenance of a symbolic self-regulation space that restores to the subject the authorship of their path, fostering the integration of drive, memory, and identity.
