Curso de aperfeicoamento em psicoanalise
Special topics in psychoanalysis // Advanced topics in psychoanalysis
These would seem to work better than any of the previous suggestions as a course title.
Suerte.

graduate certificate program
This is based largely on your description. Certificate program is a good term for a formal course of study that does not confer a bachelors/masters/phd or other "terminal" degree.
I would avoid the use of "course" in this context--at least in American English it would commonly imply a single course/class in a particular subject matter.
"The Washington School of Psychiatry offers the following certificate programs:
...The Clinical Program on Psychotherapy Practice
is a two-year certificate program for all mental health practitioners.

Certificate/diploma course
You say it is not a specialization course.
In the UK we would tend to refer to a postgraduate course like this in terms of what it would award the student. A certificate course is generally when people gain a certificate for completing the number of hours. A diploma course is more likely to have some form of assessment.
Further information on how the course operates would be needed.
