Resources for Pervasive Drive for Autonomy (or Pathological Demand Avoidance)?

Pathological Demand Avoidance

I’m trying to do research on the subject, as it directly applies to me but also some clients I work with. I’m hoping some of you may have some suggestions for books you’ve read on the subject that you found helpful and resourceful?

I’ve mostly always been limited to various articles, but I’d like to deep dive the subject. It’s currently a special interest so I’m open to anything! Also open to names of experts on the topic that may exist!

Thank you! :)
