If your UserType table has some a name or title field cake will automatically use it when populating drop down lists created with Model::find( 'list' ).
If you have a field that you use as a group name or title - which it seems you do - that isn't called name or title you have to set the displayField property in the model and perhaps empty the cake model caches. I think simply setting debug in core.php to 1 and refreshing should work. http://book.cakephp.org/view/1062/displayField explains it better and has sample code.
