We analyze the two-dimensional Holstein t-J model within the spin-wave
approximation by means of an iterative Lanczos algorithm to describe
the dynamics of holes in CuO2 planes of high-T(c) superconductors. A s
harp crossover from nearly free to self-trapped excitations is found a
t a finite value of the hole-phonon coupling constant. In the vicinity
of this crossing a coexistence of these two types of states and ferro
n-phonon complexes is found.
