Building a New Community Psychology of Mental Health

Abstract

A cut and shut car is apparently one of the biggest dangers to a car buyer. A cut and shut consists of two or more cars welded together. Usually, this happens when a car is damaged enough to be written off by insurers and is patched together with another car to hide the damage. Needless to say these contraptions are not especially safe and don’t run especially well. Nevertheless, we’ve decided to use the concept as a template for an academic chapter. And as we’re not going to drive this chapter anywhere at high speed, we suspect that the worst that might happen is that it reads a bit odd.
