Have a look at :

Schlegel, Adv. in Chem. Phys., ab initio methods in quantum chemistry, 
Vol. LXVII, 1987, part I, pp 249-285

It is a nice article with a lot of literature references, so you can find 
your way through a lot of literature.

In part II you can find an article by Pulay that will give you some 
interesting things on the analytical derivative methods in Quantum 
Chemistry. Methods that are among those used in optim.
