Try googling with: self forces electrodynamics

also: look up articles by Steve Parrott in sci.physics.research a few
years ago when there were lively (and well informed) threads on the topic

I'm not sure how much this will reveal about what is clear and what is not clear. Perhaps a better rule of thumb would be that if it isn't in (and clear in) Griffiths and Jackson, it isn't clear.
