In F.A. at pg.133 is write about hallucination types:
"Visual and auditory hallucinations are common in schizophrenia",
but in Kaplan lecture notes i find that in schizophrenia you find auditory hallucinations and (emphasize with underline) NOT visual hallucinations

Schizophrenics almost never experience visual hallucinations by themselves, rather they are virtually always in conjunction with auditory or other hallucinatory forms

According to
According to Kaplan & Sodock's book-Visual Hallucinations can occur in
children with schizophrenia. or in traumatized children who do not go on to have major psychotic disorders.(Where they see the devil,scary faces, space creatures,etc.
Also LSD may cause visual hallucinations.

yes vai - I agree. It is very unusual to have visual hallucinations in schizophrenia (although the film "a beautiful mind would have us believe otherwise"). Of course they can occur but not in "classic" cases
