An investigation was conducted with primary orgasmic dysfunctional females, comparing a newly‐developed integrated hypnoanalytic/behavior modification technique to a cotherapist/couples‐type of treatment and to a nontreatment condition. All experimental and control subjects completed pre‐post instruments designed to measure orgasmic success through subject validation. A 4‐year follow‐up analysis indicated that the integrated technique was more successful than the cotherapist approach in eliminating primary orgasmic dysfunction; there was no success at all in the nontreatment condition. The findings suggest that working with deeper personality dynamics in conjunction with behavior modification is a more effective method of treating the disorder than the cotherapist/couples‐type behavioral approach. Further, the necessity for accumulating careful follow‐up data and replicating treatment methods in a treatment‐outcome study is discussed
