There is sometimes a simple concept of going "whoo" to "hee" which allows the correct voicing for the altissimo jump going upward which allows for a more ease in getting the corresponding tones you are having trouble with....
As to getting bogged down in technical discussion the key is finding a technique that is simple and gives the player the freedom to play easily...
Avoid complex explanations for an otherwise simple element of playing any instrument...
Playing without the register is a good practice as mentioned by John but only in the practice room. Remember the clarinet tends to play flat in the altissimo and the venting from the register key is a god-send.....
Geoffrey Rendell in his book "the Clarinet" has a superb explanation of the overtone series of the clarinet....worth looking up!
Keith Stein has good advice as well in his book "The Art of Clarinet Playing" 1958
