This research aimed to verify the effects of relaxation training and cognitive intervention (visualization) introduced in the pre-operatory phase of patients applying to orthognatic surgery. The 12 subjects, of both sexes, between 18 and 26 years of age, were divided into an Experimental Group (E.G./N=6) and a Contral Group (C.G./N=6). After the pre-surgery guidance, both groups were interviewed and the E G. was submitted to relaxation and visualization. During the post-operatory phase all them received psychological attendance and were evaluated in three moments. The results indicated attainment of major benefits in the psycho-organic conditions and others to the EG.. When the psychological interventions are introduced in the pre-operatory, they tend to make the post-operatory phase conditions of the patients better.
