Abstract
The aim of this article is to highlight how important it is that the complex field of the study of the mind is interdisciplinary in nature. This is done by looking at some clinical and biological aspects of psychiatry as well as by underlining the importance of the first stages of life for the correct metacognitive development of an individual. Metacognition is fundamental for interaction between individuals and, consequently, it plays a key role in the evolution of the species. There is plenty of neuroscientific evidence to support what was intuitively known and described in the phenomenological method. Such information also shows the importance of phenomenology in creating theories that neuroscience is now validating.
