I'm not sure if you want theory or not so I'll give you a couple.
My absolute favorite book that deals with this is "A Shining Affliction". But it can be triggering and very hard to read. It is worth it. I go back to it often because I see myself.
For theory I like a couple of basics. I've recommended "Treating The Self, Elements of Clinical Self Psychology" before. Good basic information. Also "A Secure Base" by John Bowlby is THE classic on the subject. Read almost anything by Dan Stern or Dan Siegel.
Some others that I found helpful but are similiar to lots of other stuff out there are listed below. Don't be put off by the titles! And they aren't all about attachment but rather the overall experience of therapy. Good luck with this. I struggle every single day with this.
