I'd personally recommend anything you can find by Harry Guntrip on schizoid dynamics. I've felt like he has a perspective that is very deep/insightful while still being empathetic/validating and not too technical (compared to a lot of other psychoanalytic authors).
Harry Guntrip - The Schizoid Personality and the External World (1952) [Chapter 1 from Schizoid Phenomena, Object Relations, and the Self]
Harry Guntrip - The Schizoid Problem, Regression, and the Struggle to Preserve an Ego (1961) [Chapter 2 from Schizoid Phenomena, Object Relations, and the Self]
