The hypnotherapy was applied to the cleft palate for speech rehabilitation. Most of adult patients with cleft palate have the highly deteriorated articulation. In such cases, a functional velopharyngeal reconstruction was performed and hypnotherapy was indicated. The purpose of this treatment was to correct their habits of deformed articulation and to get normal speech. This therapy was practiced to three adult cases who acquired intelligible articulation in short time.
