There's a couple of related forms of interaction, more common in close interpersonal relationships, that I'd term 'Executive Function Sabotage'. The first form is where one party routinely interrupts the other party any time they choose to do something. Whether it's requesting they work on something else, or just demanding their attention by talking to them repeatedly, the common factor is that it's reliably triggered by the second party initiating some kind of focused activity unrelated to the first party. The second form is where one party requests that the other party perform a task, then inevitably finds fault with the outcome no matter how accurately or effectively the task is done. Both of these can lead over time to a form of learned helplessness where any initiative is suppressed because any self-originated action is treated as wrong. Eventually the victim gives up and becomes incapable of any real volition.
